Multiple use of pour avoir xxx in a sentence

Question

Le jeune homme a été
récompensé pour avoir sauvé  l'enfant de la noyade. The young man has been rewarded for saving the child
from drowning. Could that be ' pour avoir noyé ‘? Le noyade is, I assume, 'the drowning?'

Accepted Answer

...pour avoir sauvé  l'enfant de la noyade. -- for having saved the child from "the drowning“ (=drowning)....pour avoir noyé. -- for having drowned.
As you can see, the second version has a completely different meaning. It doesn't make sense in this context.

Answer

Chris, not sure what/where you mean for possibly using ‘pour avoir noyé’ - that is, “for having drowned/for drowning”. Yes, la noyade, is ‘(the) drowning’.

Answer

There is a translation error in the answer marked correct - “La noyade” cannot be ‘the drown’ in English, as ‘drown’ is a verb. ‘La noyade’ is ‘(the) drowning’.
