When someone drowns, and they say in the news, "he was found in 47 feet of water" what does that mean?

Question:Does it mean the water was 47 feet deep?

Answers:
Yes, that's 47 feet deep!
The place he drowned in has a depth of 47 feet of water. Of course you don't know how deep he actually drowned. He could have drowned 5 feet below the water, and then sink to the bottom, which is 47 feet below the surface of the water.
Maybe they were saying he was short!
Yes, it refers to the depth of the water in which the person drowned.
Both good answers! It also has no bearing on where the body was found, not all bodies sink to the bottom.
Yes it does mean 47 feet deep.
