Perhaps he was leaning with his back to the wall - if it was there then?
But by the sounds of it, he was further out into the Dam for the water to be that deep?
If not.....we've got another weirdy here.

The only other logical explanation being that he was upto mid-chest height in mud/silt and this was holding him up?
Fascinating info. Jenny.

But how he was found and if there was no mud Etc. some people, especially in times past, would have said he was simply and purely a victim of 'The Calling'. This phenomena supposedly happened predominately in the Countryside. Someone would hear a 'voice' calling them and wherever it was originating from, they would, seemingly under its 'spell', walk DIRECTLY towards the point of origin, regardless of where this may have been. The resulting lifeless bodies, were always found in strange circumstances.
I think i'll stay in tonight.
Azzabuv.

Addendum -
All the time i've roamed all round the Dam over the years, i never saw anything out of the ordinary....so perhaps their Spirits/Ghosts are at rest. Unless, in the wee, quiet hours of the morning....................
