Basics...
1) when you lose consciousness you don’t necessarily retain a grasp on objects in your control.
2) there was no bloat on the bodies, if they had been “found” by chance, in a few hours in that heat they would be puffed up
With a long history of faking pictures using dead children the PLO, Hezbollah, Hamas, and others have been doing this sort of crap for 20+ years. I am not arguing that they died by drowning, I am arguing that the odds that they washed ashore together like that are extremely low of the waters were as turbulent as to cause him to drown.
The picture was staged for shock value. And it is shocking... until you start to investigate the rest of the circumstances of the story and then the facts don’t line up.
Good logic, both of you.
