1. to collapse onto or into something; to fall and land heavily
To fall or collapse in a way that results in ending up on or inside something — a bed, a chair, a room, or a person. The ~込む suffix emphasizes the completeness of falling in or into a space.

Compound of 倒(たお)れる (to fall, to collapse) + 込(こ)む (directional suffix meaning 'into'). The ~込む suffix adds the sense of falling completely into or onto a space, often due to exhaustion or sudden loss of strength.
