A lot of people in a FB comments section of a news story about this speculated they were electrocuted. People in FB comments are never wrong, so must be true.

Very odd circumstances. The Register article I read said that they had been at a function with a third friend and they left to check on the house. The third friend went to check on them later and found the bodies. So maybe it's something as simple as an accidental drowning after they drank too much at whatever party or event they had been at.

It's hard to believe that two adults who were both competent swimmers and spent a lot of time around water would drown for no reason.

Do we know this?

From the Register:

"Wisor met Mark Anderson, who lived in Eldridge, through Kenny, he said. The three socialized with a larger group of friends in the Davenport area. The teachers loved being in water and would regularly hang out on the Mississippi River. "
Doesn't necessarily mean they are competent swimmers but you would think so.
