Stuck Drowning

A man who was slightly drunk was drowned down at the beach. He was not suicidal but he was just found lying down. Why didn't or couldn't he just get up and escape drowning?

Because he was murdered.
Or he was retarded. When he fell he was just like turtle on its back.
Or he fell and hit his head on the rock.
Or tsunami arrived.
Or he walked on his hands instead of legs.
Or he was tied up.
Or he was hypnotized so he had no choice about it.
Or electric eel paralyzed him.
Or he was sleepwalking and then, when he got to the beach, he was ’sleepswimming.’
Or he didn’t have to escape drowning because there was no danger and he is still very much alive.
Or his head was stuck in the rock.
Or anaconda captured him but he died because of drowning. It was a coincidence.

He is turning into a fly so little alcohol killed him.
Or he was Borg. Drones get easily drunk.

He was killed during high tide but he wasn't drunk enough to faint like that without being woken up by the water... so what made him stay?

Hint: There WAS something holding him down on the beach. However, nothing was found on him.
Oh and by the way, I'm never going into the microsoft/cs putnam sections again. EVER. I don't think those should count as riddles. They're waaay to complicated....

I hope you don't mean he's bound by ice-shackles ? Cos that would be too weird.

His feet got entangled by one of those sea weeds that came along with the water.

He can swim and no to all guesses so far.
The thing that held him down is pretty common near the beach.

You haven't written that the beach is sandy anywhere. So that's why I think that it's a rocky beach.
The guy came drunk and he slipped on some rocks causing him to fall on the ground and then some more rocks fell on him making him unable to move. Then the water level got above his body, he got drowned, and the tide washed away the rocks after he died.

Because he was just a baby. His name was Aman.
Or he was Siamese twin.

Any rock heavy enough to hold him down wouldn't be light enough to get washed away. He wasn't weak
