Can Someone Get Pneumonia From Breathing Air With Excessive Moisture?

[LisaL]

Example:

''''Mr. Stringham was caught on the Great Salt Lake during a storm. He developed lung congestion (pneumonia) and never recovered. He died on August 3rd.''
I've also read of several other cases of people immediately getting pneumonia/inflammation of the lungs after they stood in a thick mist or journeyed out into the rain.
I also came across one case of apparent suicide by this method.

So I ask, is it actually possible for some people to aspirate enough water from the air in some circumstances that they can develop aspiration / water based pneumonia, or do these cases just happen to be coincidental?
