I did watch Mash back then, but I don't remember that episode.
I think I first became aware a few years ago when a young child fell through the ice, and was under for quite some time. He ultimately made a full recovery, and there was much discussion about the fact that those who "drown" in the winter have a much better chance than those who suffer a similar fate in the summer.
