I don't think they crawl since you can't really see thr the muddy sewage, they probably just die because of gameplay reason

They might jump up one last time but i've legge six in the water and walked over to where they we're and nothing happens.

They do. T-virus zombies are not actually dead, even if many cells of their bodies is. This is also why the dead people you see all over the place never actually come back, only those who succumbed to the virus.

Not actually dead doesn't necessarily mean they need oxygen to function, when you play 4th survivor as Hunk, several zombies will rise up from underwater to attack you, there's no telling how long they have been lying there before Hunk's arrival, proving the fact that they don't require oxygen to function hence cannot drown

That's interesting, will have to try that. I wonder if that is intentional though, because on my Leon A campaign I had 3 or 4 'ambush' me by rising out of the water as a spawn method.

Blowing off a leg stops them from standing in water.

It is just gameplay. :) The events you play in the 4th survivor are not canon, just its startup cinematic and ending one. Everything in-between is just a non-canon challenge mode (in the original, you fought two Birkins at once at one point to hammer this home more obviously).

I can confirm blowing a zombies leg/legs off while they are in water or getting a crawling one to go into water will "kill" it, by kill I mean it will never move or attack the player or be seen again, it will surface for a second in a dying animation and make a noise before going under forever, I actually use this trick in the sewers as Leon on the two zombies that are in the water behind that gate you open later, the one right before your first G Adult encounter, I line it up so I take one leg off each zombie with one shotgun blast :D

Not true. Many times Resident Evil have featured T virus infected corpses rise up from graves. And thats just one example

Well the events happened during 4th survivor vary between different games, in RE2 REMake you don't get to fight hunters, giant spiders and vegan flower mutants from RE chronicles and the original game but it doesn't really have much bearings on the current topic, since zombies rising up from underwater and shallow graves are not rare occurrences at all, they are featured in the original RE2, RE chronicles and Code Veronica and these are just the ones I can think of atm, which proves that T-virus infected zombies don't need oxygen to function, and cannot drown as a result
As for the 2 Birkins fight, I have no memory of that whatsoever

RE C:V had a scene like that and it was a heavily modified virus duddeb the T-Veronica that also got out of hand in the only other game it appeared.
RE3 has something similar, but most of the RE3 plot is funny enough not considered canon by Capcom (same with RE1 and RE2, only some key moments are handled as canon, majority of the actual gameplay was not, this is why this remake is not going against any canon either).

This, folks, is what we call a cop-out
