Why was that "drowned" wrong? It means same as "sank", is in't it?

Drowned is used for living things where as sink is used for objects.

"drowned" means submerging into the water..
"sank" means pass through or penetrate into water..so i think the difference lies in the usage of "got" before the word drowned..
am i correct?
