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

Seems like the UK's equivalent to "fell out of a window" in Russia. There's tons of news stories exactly like this, foul play is ruled out instantly, no explanation is given and it's never mentioned again even when they say there's been an investigation.
