Did Gavrilo Princip Try To Drown Himself?
score:10
Accepted answer
According to this online biography of Gavrilo Princip, it was his co-conspirator Nedjelko Cabrinovic who tried to drown himself (in the River Miljacka).
As they drove along the quay, the assassin Cabrinovic armed his bomb against a lamp-post, and threw it at the Heir Apparent. It exploded under the third car and caused minor injuries. Cabrinovic swallowed his poison, which failed to work, and jumped into the river, where he failed to drown as there was very little water. He was arrested and held for questioning.

Princip's poison also failed to work, and he was seized by the crowd while attempting to shoot himself.
