Probably happened to many new players. And there was asked to fix this, but...
Basically you just had to toggle swimming if you had learned that skill.

i had swimming toggled ,i just stuck in textures, i clicked everywhere while i was drowning(even tried to climb back ). Nothing could be done. even my corpse was gone by the time i reach it with alt ( or some1 stole it,dunno if thats possible) so my 200k lp char turned to 9k after inherit(dunno why wiki says 15% ,it was less than 5% for me) ,kinda sad and brutal. Anyway if i would be killed by player or bear or even lags it would be ok but this is the worst way to die.

Unfortunately devs have absolute "no-resurrections" -policy, no matter how outrageous the conditions of death are. Believe me, I would be mad as fuck if that happened to me.

Don't remember if Abilities are redeemed into raw LP or applied to increase them on the Descendant based on inheritance percentage. Any way, that sounds way too low.

The base return value is fairly low. Purchased skills are 'refunded' and you get the LP based on the value of skills + pool. Incremented skills are based on the total cost of raising the skill to that point.

As far as I'm aware the exact details is on the RoB wiki: http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Glossary#Death To increase the amount of LP and attributes you regain, make sure to bury the skeleton of the deceased, with the skull for the full value, without for a reduced amount. If you've advanced your characters or village enough, you can use Lament the Departed to help recover more, though with a young character, it may be cheaper to just grind out what was lost rather than try to earn Numen points for Ancestral Worship magic.

make sure to bury the skeleton of the deceased

OP said his corpse was gone when he returned to that spot with an alt, but for other people dying, definitely bury the corpse once it turns into skeleton (don't raise any stats before that to get full inheritance.)
