I have only come across this post today, but I also came across a report from the London Gazette 21 April 1863, I cannot access the full article because my subscription has run out so it may or may not be relevant. I can only get bare details which only use the surname and which are -
Wheatley was a very sober and steady young man and a good boatman............they were all perfectly sober when they started..........He didn't know whether Wheatley could swim or not.

As I say, it may not have anything to do with your Alfred Wheatley, but it would be worth seeing if you can locate the article.

How do we know the date of death? Do we have a burial record? If so does the burial record mention a coroner?

I think this refers to George WHEATLEY who died around the same time, I saw the article and mentioned it in reply #3
