cameras show DiPiero falling overboard from a rail near the front of the ship,

Which means he scraped along the length of the hull and possibly went through the screws. Chum is the word that comes to mind.

I've been on that ship before. It's a long drop to the water from the rail at the front. The impact with the water would have either killed him or knocked him out anyway. Even if it didn't and he somehow survived......how long do you think he could have survived in his drunken condition? Not more than a couple of minutes.

Yup. Barnacles on the sides/bottom are like thousands of razor blades.

OK, that's a little more detail than I wanted to visualize.
