I think the word you're looking for is drown, as in

My brother drowned in the lake.
This usually means that the person was immersed in water.
If the person died from a small amount of water, you could say that they suffocated.To suffocate is to die from lack of air.

Your question is grammatically correct. (The answer is "Yes", so if I were you I'd be careful about drinking water.)
