You can't say "he was PROBABLY drunk" and then say "REASONS they believed he drowned" because you are leading the readers to conclude that this was the cause of death. You have to make sense of what you have learnt or heard before you publish it.

How can you see that somebody was probably drunk without a blood sample? Lots of people dying form "natural causes" and "suicides" in the most strange places on this island........
