I'm not really a fan of zombies but I was watching a show about zombie lore last week. The show made me wonder: what would happen if a zombie was dropped in the middle of an ocean or a deep lake?
My theory is since the zombie doesn't retain any of the knowledge or skills learned when it was human, the zombie shouldn't have the ability to swim so it would just sink. Technically, it's already dead which means it doesn't need oxygen to survive. But the zombie virus can't survive without human flesh. So I postulate
that the zombie would die after the virus is starved. But then... what would happen if fish eat the dead zombie? Would the virus effect the fish? Could the zombie virus be passed onto humans who eat the fish?
I don't know why, but I love trying to punch holes in lore!
I posted the question on Facebook but I think people thought I was kidding. I'm not... based on what you know about zombies, what do you think would happen?
I need answers!
