Bartenura
ר׳ מאיר מטמא. שאם הביאוהו שנים לידי מיתה חמורה, לא יביאוהו לידי קרבן הקל:
וחכמים אומרים אדם נאמן על פי עצמו. דמתרצינן דיבוריה מאי לא נטמאתי דקאמר, לא עמדתי בטומאתי אלא טבלתי, והואיל וכן, אדם נאמן על ידי עצמו:
ברה״י טמא ברה״ר טהור. דחשיב כשאר ספק טומאה דעלמא:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Taharos Perek 6 Mishnah 1
טהרות פרק ו׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
מקום שהיה רשות היחיד ונעשה רשות הרבים – as, for example a valley, plane, that in the rainy season it is the private domain, and in the days of summer heat it is the public domain.
המסוכן – a person who fainted/swooned and it is not known from him if he is living or dead.
והחזירוהו לרה"י – and there they saw him that he died.
כשהוא ברה"י ספיקו טמא – and we declare him impure, from doubt every person and vessels that were with him in the private domain when he was there at first. But people and vessels that were with him in the public domain after they removed him from the private domain are ritually pure. For it is manner of doubtful defilement in the public domain and his manner of doubt is ritually pure.
ר' שמעון אומר רשות הרבים מפסקת (the public domain intervenes) – since we consider him as living after they removed him from the private domain to the public domain, and we declare ritually pure vessels and people that were with him in the public domain for perhaps he is alive, how can we consider him dead retroactively before he left from the private domain, by force we are not able to defile from doubt a person or vessels that were with him in the private domain originally, since the public domain that they eventually took him out there intervenes and you must consider him as living and purify a person and vessels that were with him. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
מקום שהיה רשות היחיד ונעשה רשות הרבים. כגון בקעה, דבימות הגשמים רשות היחיד ובימות החמה רשות הרבים:
המסוכן. מי שנתעלף ואין ידוע ממנו אם חי אם מת:
והחזירוהו לרה״י. ושם ראוהו שמת:
כשהוא ברה״י ספיקו טמא. ומטמאינן מספק כל אדם וכלים שהיו עמו ברה״י שהיה שם בראשונה. ואדם וכלים שהיו עמו ברה״ר לאחר שהוציאוהו מרה״י, טהורין, דספק טומאה ברה״ר הוא, וספיקו טהור:
ר׳ שמעון אומר רשות הרבים מפסקת. כיון דחשבינן ליה כחי לאחר שהוציאוהו מרה״י לרה״ר, ומטהרינן לכלים ואדם שהיו עמו ברה״ר דשמא חי הוא, איך נחשבהו מת למפרע קודם שיצא מרה״י, על כרחך אין יכולין לטמא מספק אדם וכלים שהיו עמו ברה״י בראשונה, הואיל ורשות הרבים שהוציאוהו שם באחרונה מפסקת שאתה מחשיבו כחי ומטהרת אדם וכלים שהיו עמו שם. ואין הלכה כר״ש:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

ר' מאיר מטמא – that if two [witnesses] brought him to a grave death [as punishment], they would not bring him to [bring] the lenient sacrifice (see also the reasoning of Rabbi Meir in Tractate Kritot, Chapter 3, Mishnah 1).
וחכמים אומרים אדם נאמן על פי עצמו – that we provide the answer through his word. What is “I was not defiled” that he stated? I didn’t stand in my defilement but rather I ritually immerse, and since this is the case, a person is believed concerning himself.
