Dude the human body is extremely fucking fragile despite the absurd resilience also present which leads to people drowning in one foot of water, let alone eight.
Water is never going to be the only factor in play here, conspiracy or otherwise, as it's extremely easy to slip on an unseen, submerged surface covered in random crap, actual crap, or vegetation that means even the slightest lean the wrong way sends your feet in ways preventing you from staying upright. At which point all you need is a concussion, something significantly easier to achieve in shallower water for obvious reasons, while unsupervised for the next/last 3 or so minutes of your life. Anything after those 3 minutes without air risks brain damage regardless of how well you might be resuscitated which is often a major motivatior for someone signing a DNR because they don't want to come back as an invalid.
Which is why murdering someone by drowning is so effective as it doesn't take much to achieve/force/fake and given the immediate surroundings the very water makes forensic work extremely difficult.
