requesting help reading Norwegian death record 1866

I cannot make out the first couple of words but after that I believe it says "fell in the lake and died of drunkenness (drukkenskab)". Drowning is drukning, which was probably the actual cause of death, but the record definitely says "drukkenskap (drukkenskab) = drunkenness".
There is another version of this death record here: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/933/366
This says she was "found dead in the water at a wharf in Flekkefjørd".

For https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/931/347, my reading is:
"sanssynligviis falden i Søen og død i drukkenskab/drukkneskab"
"probably fell in the sea and died by drowning"

Thank you both! She was quite young when she died, so the cause of death was quite a curiosity.
