I can only surmise a bit of disorientation and panic perhaps. Thinking that the controller had lost connection to the drone, just moving the sticks and not realizing he was flying it right into the water. Most likely his mobile device lost connection to the controller and thus he was thinking that he had no control over the drone.
Lost connection to RC, I had happen on my tablet quite often, I don't know why, at first OH S+-&-(t
This happened in my yard GL to 100' many 1/150' away but I moved the sticks and still had full control, RTH initiated and it landed spot on. Until the last two times I unplugged and replugged the cable in, last two I tapped the power button and all is ok, Until....

LOST CONNECTION TO RC top left corner, Oh S8-_4t, I was in my yard many 80' up and 100' out and this happened 3x, and each time I had control first time RTH spot on landed the others I landed my self.
I unplugged and replugged my tablet to the controller all ok, the last few times I just tapped the rc power button all ok, UNTILL the patchal window opens up blocking most of the screen, LOW CHARGER INPUT.... Flashing on and off....at 30%battery now my view is blocked and my controller is moving flytime to tablet.
I know folks say the Android needs power to transmit, that take is debatable because it only happens on a Samsung 10' tablet, not the 7" Samsung or 10" Amazon, no my Samsung or Motorola phone. And I can't find the option to turn off the
MA2 options.
RC disconnect check the signal, if full keep flying.
