Well I do like this a bit more now, but that ending is kind of off, you could make it as if originally James isn't dead, but rather dying.

James is dying for days (which could happen due to organ failure) as a result of drowning until the pratagonist is given up on all hope of his survival, planning to pack himself and head back home alone he hears the post mortem air escape from James' body creating moans, which is where you cut off the story possibly making readers wonder whether that dead are rising or if it's just the natural result of decay.
