The seat cushion of most aircraft makes an adequate floatation device in an emergency.
Not in a small general aviation airplane. The seat material is fire-resistant but otherwise just a cloth or leather cushion like you'd find in a car.
Sadly, it looks like it's the water temperature, not drowning, that got him in the end anyway.
