Similar happened to me recently - I went into the kitchen, and in the sink that was half full of water, there was that effing massive spider the size of my hand just like, suspended, below the surface. Not curled up or anything, it just looked like it had drown.
When I saw it? I squealed. Like a big girl. Then ran away from the sink. Then spent the next half an hour walking to the sink, seeing it was still exactly where it was, squealing, then walking away again. I asked Twitter to send the A-Team.
Then my brother comes home and he's like, "Yeah, that spider ain't dead, I read that they can't drown and when it's out of the water it'll spring back to life."
I was like "WHAT NO OH GOD REMOVE IT FROM MY HOUSE, QUICKLY PLEASE."
...Eventually Vicki came over and acted like an adult and scooped it up in a jug and lobbed it into a bush in the back garden. I fear that it might still be out there somewhere, plotting it's way back in.

Which is why I always get 'em with boiling water from the kettle and flush 'em down the drain when they're in the bath, or sink.
Apparently hairspray works on 'em too. They get stuck. Still alive, just... frozen.
That said, I have qualms about killing spiders. Anything that scares me enough to not want to sleep with it around deserves to be dead.
