It is not possible to loot human corpses in waist-high water.
To reproduce:
Same goes for the Mounds of the Dead.
Happens anywhere where there’s water
Hey @Barnes
We’re aware of this problem, which boils down to having the default bind of the use key in a water body assigned to drink. Our team is looking at workarounds for this to make interacting under the water a little less restrictive.
Thanks for your feedback.
Workaround: Destroy (harvest) body, so the loot bag appears. Then jump and press “E” to open the loot window.
Yeah… That Cimmerian berserker is sometimes un-lootable…
But sometimes just pressing the use-key works. Even when the “open inventory” does not show up.
At least I understand the problem… Because you drink with the same key 
If I have killed an NPC in shallow water and can get the preview window, but not open his inventory, I loot all from the window and drop what I don’t want.
After knocking out, say, a Cimmerian Berserker, and can see the body but not the interface, most of the time I can still tether him.
Just my workarounds …
Regards

Thank you, @Ignasi for the feedback, and I appreciate the workaround tips, everybody. I have been operating in the highlands lately – it took about five days for me to notice, then see it repeat enough to know it’s a bug. Later I’ll post a screen grab I made last night: if you log out and then log back in, all the NPCs will be in T-Pose and easy to glean.
So my workaround: log out then back in!
While you guys fix this bug please do not break the function to loot with “F” under water…
I have repeated this after today’s new update, and it works every time.
Good workaround… until they fix T-posing
