You can see the part of the river this took place on Google Maps. It’s not exactly a roaring rapid.

I never knew this old german punk song would be so appropriate: Die Ärzte - Cops Underwater

Lyrics:

Cops under water / That’s what i like to see

Wet uniforms / Water in the shoes

They just can’t swim / The guns are way to heavy

First they wriggle a little / But later not anymore

I could get help / But I like what I see here

Cops under water / What a beautiful picture

No radio that constantly squawks / It’s adorably quiet, yeah

On top of that leftist getting some literal friendly fire from a Molotov the other day, water is really making a bid to establish itself as the most communist of the four elements

The woman eventually made it across the river but Officer Peek had difficulty making it back to shore as he was still donning all of his equipment and gear.

What kind of person puts on their gear while swimming across a river?

Also what are the chances that this is a COVID death?

when family members found him unresponsive at his home hours following his release from the hospital.

I’m not a doctor but is it normal for people to die several hours after almost drowning?

Yes. It is called dry drowning. This is almost as negligent as leaving someone with a traumatic brain injury unsupervised.

their version of events has it that she either fell or jumped in and he voluntarily went in after her to “save” her, so I can’t imagine they’d try it

For some reason the video I’m seeing is a woman who died after trying to save distressed swimmers in a human chain.
