Her boots were wellies…I think the thing most likely to have caused her to drown is cold water shock and panic, disorientation, causing her to inhale enough water to drown. If she managed to keep her head out of the water for the 3 mins or so it takes for breathing to calm down, I think she could have survived.
Down coats float and the heaviest thing would be her jeans - her boots were elasticated and she had thick socks so it’s not like wearing big wellies.
