The news story is from 3 days ago. Also canals in the UK don’t have strong currents and the max depth where he drowned was only 5 foot in the middle, even shallower near the sides. Nearly all canals in the UK are only about 1 metre deep in the middle. Look it up and look up photos of drained canals in the UK if you don’t believe me lol

No story I've seen has said he drowned, just that he entered the canal, was pulled out by cops and bystanders, and had CPR administered. As much as I hate cops it sounds like his death wasn't actually related to the canal, otherwise they would have just said he drowned.
