There are go2pro videos of him skimming the water and being thrilled to death. How about strong gusts hit the airplane from behind and force the nose to dig into the water, flipping it and killing him?
If he accidently ditched it while trying to impress himself with low level flight, then very likely he could have snapped his neck in the sudden stop. Has happened to other pilots who had to ditch for other reasons, even when they knew it was coming.
It was rather light winds here this morning when he crashed and a low tide and shallow water.Neighbors here reported seeing him flying low the last few days.
