Only if a person does it deliberately with the intention of dying. If someone holds another person under water until they drown, that is murder. Falling into some water and drowning is an accident unless someone deliberately pushed the victim. Then it is murder, or possibly manslaughter if it was a prank. It would depend on why the person pushed them.

Also, a person could drown due to medical conditions. For instance, a swimmer may suffer epilepsy and go into a seizure while swimming. Or a swimmer may be about ready to have a heart attack and they might not be used to a lot of activity, and they really push themselves and then die.

Related to this is aspiration. That is when you drown on your own vomit or other fluids in your lungs. Most of the times that is unintentional, even if the circumstances that brought that on are voluntary. Someone may decide to get really, really intoxicated at a party. However, they don't plan on blacking out, vomiting while unconscious, and choking or drowning to death. A few cases like that are actually murder, such as spiking someone's drink with the intention that they will pass out and vomit.
