Perhaps the diver hit their head in the fall? I would imagine a hard impact fall might pull one of the dump valves and empty the bcd during the fall. Any ideas of how high they fell from?

Depending on how much positive buoyancy one has. If a fall knocked the wind out of you, you may not have enough buoyancy to stay on the surface. Another issue is that if you were stunned by a crack on the head, one might hit the deflate button instead of inflate. Of course having a medical event triggering the scenario would also explain a lot.
Wonder if more are shore diving because NDAC is closed?
NDAC -- National DIve Activity Centre -- is a 80m/260ft quarry just on the edge of Wales and has been closed for some months now. Was an excellent location for technical diving and there's not really another site like it in the UK.
