Sure but police haven't even confirmed it was him yet, let alone a cause of death. I think it's definitely possible -- maybe even likely -- that it's a drowning, but I feel like it's too early to know for sure.
MOO.

If he went into the water voluntarily, perhaps with a sense of invigorating adventure, he would remove his clothes first. That's what I'm guessing happened. But the undertow or waves or cold water temp got him.
Speculation, of course.

Friends link torso found on beach to missing Irish Emmy winner who died while ‘wild’ swimming: NYPD
Police think Ross McDonnell — who loved to “wild swim” in the ocean or other natural bodies of water — vanished under the waves during a late-night dip at one of his favorite spots near Fort Tilden…

He was wearing swim trunks and his friends say he was known to go "wild swimming." I'm sorry this swimming adventure ended in tragedy.

shark attack? this is a different beach but highlights the problem New York’s shark-infested waters are a good thing. Yes, really.
I agree. There is more to this story. I ha e my suspicions but they may seem out there. I mean I don't know who this film maker is..but a LOT of men use the gay hookup apps for anonymous hookups. Maybe this is whats going on...he ran into the wrong hookup. I mean this isn't the first decapitated body to be be found. There was another one pretty recently that was also decapitated. I think we have a serial out there and noone is talking about itCops believe torso found on NYC beach may be vanished Irish filmmaker: sources

From the article… personally I think there is a little more to his story that is being told. JMO
cops think McDonnell — a 44-year-old Emmy winner whose bike was found locked up at Fort Tilden Beach on Nov. 7 — may have drowned in the churning waters, then had his body ravaged by some natural phenomena before it washed up on Breezy Point Beach Friday, sources said.
Investigators have been seeking to track down McDonnell’s
red puffy North Face vest,
black and white sneakers,
dark-colored khaki pants and
black North Face backpack as they searched for clues about his disappearance.

McDonnell vanished from his Brooklyn home earlier this month.
