Something like that could probably work, since Elves need to breathe just like Humans. In The Silmarillion, the death of Ecthelion, Captain of Gondolin, is accomplished by drowning, proving that Elves do indeed need to breathe. (For those of you who are morbidly interested in all the sordid details, during the Fall of Gondolin, he fought with Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, and after killing him, fell into the extremely deep fountain that "incidentally" was right next to him, and the weight of his armor made him sink to the bottom of the fountain.)
