I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
But the real issue is -- if a drowned corpse sinks, it'll sink to the bottom of a 20-foot lake. But will it sink to the bottom of the Marianas Trench? The density at the bottom of a deep-sea trench is so high that it would do all sorts of other things, like the nitrogen effect that causes the bends. Theoretically, at least, you could end up with a corpse that is under water, but "floating" because it isn't dense enough to go any lower.
So the dude, after waking up, wouldn't even be able to walk his way home -- he'd have to swim.
This is why it is bad to think too hard about sci-fi, isn't it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, corpses are more likely to float in saltwater.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And cold water. Poor bugger'd get to some sort of homeostasis, or be like those strange oil thermometers.

Doesn't organic matter eventually settle to the sea floor regardless? There's all that sediment down there, and not a solid crust of dead fish covering the entire ocean...

Not regardless of density. Broken into itty bits, and with the air lost, most of the stuff'd sink. Together, with the possibility of gases and lighter liquid buoying it, NSM.
