apparently you can die while sleeping in a boat on water.

I had a family emergency to tend to and had to run out, I came back to find my current character dead, and the funny thing is that i found my old character sleeping on a boat, if there are mods in game, i would like to take control of the sleeping guy in the boat im next too. since he is technically not dead. or atleast all my possesions given to me and my boat returned. any help would be greatly appreciated. Side note: how do you delete characters?

Sounds like you're logged on the wrong account. If your character is still there and his hearthfire is still lit, then he is not dead. Alternatively, that's not you and someone is just messing with you. Hard to say?

You cannot delete characters, only kill them.
