Laptop in the water - data recovery possible?

Is it possible for the police, if a laptop was in the water for days to secure data from the internal hard drive, so with all the technical tricks that are possible at all?

Yes, they had tested once and only because he was in the water you could still read the data. Success brought only if you destroyed him with the hammer o.ä.

Water is not overly dramatic for a hard drive. A data recovery so very likely. We had a few years ago for a lawsuit saved a hard drive that was deliberately thrown into a river to damage and was recovered only after 5 months.

Work experience sounds good and thanks again, I write crime novels and I have to be sure…
