: In a clinical setting, I would have gone for 'decubitus prone', but in a police report, I actually believe that 'face down (in the water)' would be the more normal expression.

This term is in Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, 28th ed. Definition: "Patient lying face down." It's both understandable in a police report and also medically correct. Lay people would not understand "decubitus."
