Lava is very dense, meaning you would float, so there would be no risk of drowning. However, if someone were to fall into a pool of lava, they would probably still die of suffocation, since breathing in the hot air would fuck their lungs, which would kill them faster than the direct damage from the heat of the lava, considering they would probably immediately stand up and start running around due to the pain (which would be possible because of the density and viscosity of the lava).
If it was some other very hot liquid with density and viscosity similar to that of water, so you could submerge in it, I think you would die from the heat, because your brain would probably heat up to ridiculous temperatures before you could drown, which would take a couple of minutes.
Of course, he submerges in the lava in the movie, because people wouldn't want to see someone dying in a very graphic way over a period of a couple minutes.

What if gollum encased himself in an ice suit, say at -10000 degrees. Would he have survived? (Assuming the lava is +10000 degrees)

The heat, drowning takes a minute.

You'd set fire and die just from being on the platform above the lava
If you somehow managed to fall all the way to the lava before dying, you'd be killed instantly as the water in your body vaporises and expands, causing you to explode

>lava is too dense to sink
I want this uninformed meme to end. This bag of refuse smaller than a human sinks all the way in.

Surely someone on this board knows the specific heat capacity of lava off the top of their head.

why didn't the eagles drop a fucking iceberg into mount doom?m

Because the steam would have cooked the hobbits like lobsters?
