My mother thinks that he (Dennis Wilson) killed himself on his yacht; I, however, disagree with her proposition. I think he drowned.

2. The second source has given a graphic account of final moments. I have taken only excerpts. You can see the site where you can get complete details of the last day.
Morris next saw Wilson around 3 p.m. He had begun diving into the water next to the Emerald's slip, retrieving from the soft bay floor sea-corroded junk that he had thrown off the Harmony when it was anchored there: a rope, some chains, a steel box and, eerily, a silver frame that once held a photo of an ex-wife, model/actress Karen Lamm. "He was in and out of the water, getting a kick out of all the stuff he was finding," recalls Lahti.ey.
About 4:15 p.m. he came up for the last time. "He didn't indicate any problem," says Oster. "I saw him at one end of the slip. He blew a few bubbles and swam to the dinghy very quietly.
It was about 5:30 when they found Wilson. Four divers had been searching for him and had rigged a long pole to probe the bottom. That was where they found him, directly below the empty slip. Coroner reports called it an accidental drowning" but a fuller toxicological report will be made. "He did drink a lot and had a lot of wild parties," says a shaken Morris, 57. "But he was one swell guy, thoughtful, considerate, even when drinking. I just can't figure out why they let him dive down there. I know it's hindsight now, but he lost his life for nothing."

Dennis Wilson Death

Succeeding years saw his alcohol abuse problem worsen and he possibly became disillusioned by others' neglect of his talent (though he had always shown a blatant disregard for his own physical safety), he continued to record solo intermittently, but never released any more material. Thus, the "other" Beach Boy who has been called genius by some was unfulfilled creatively at the time of his death by alcohol-related drowning at Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles, in late December 1983, just after his 39th birthday. On the day of his death in 1983, Wilson was quoted as saying "I'm lonesome. I'm lonesome all the time."

All his fame an fortune and he had lots of demons. mainly alcohol. He died about 25 years ago from drowning. He was found face down in the water by his yacht. That's probably why you're confused.
