Deep pond water is not dropping my loot when I die

[Bioshock2]

Drowning in the deep water doesn’t seem to drop my loot doesn’t show up. When your not in the deep water you loot floats to the top. I have lost my loot twice now. Just decided to upload my last safe save and now 2 hours have been lost.

I'm not sure if this fixes it, but do the Game Preview Debug -> Fix Creature Locations.

Go check the initial spawn point (the box with the people cutouts).  I've seen backpacks return there.

All of my backpacks in the deep part of the pond were at the initial spawn point in my games.  The backpacks did not show on my HUD until I went back and 'saw' them.  Then they appeared on the HUD. 

I didn't need to use the Game Preview Debug, but that is a great idea if they are not there.
