Quigg Baxter's death

D
In the final scenes of the British docudrama, Inside the Titanic (2012), Quigg Baxter is shown as having returned to his lover's empty cabin to await his end. The movie portrays him as having died in an air pocket from implosion. Even though no one probably witnessed his death, is this scenario at all realistic or was it just added for emotional impact?
You shouldn't pay attention to that docudrama. That's not even the original, they simply re-narrated Curiosity: What Sank Titanic? Which aired the same year. That's probably the least-accurate Titanic film or documentary, although slightly more accurate than Atlantic, Titanic (1943), and Time Tunnel. It shows Jack Thayer and Milton Long, which is--interesting. It gets their story alright, but one thing I will never forgive is that C-70, C-90, and B-58 are all outfitted in the casual first class cabin style, despite all being suites. Also, Berthe gets stuck in her cabin which is ridiculous. What also happens, is that when Elizabeth Dowdell is escaping with Virginia Emmanuel from third class, the power on C-Deck forward starts to go out "ten thousand lightbulbs" accordingly, and for some reason they plunge Elizabeth into darkness, despite her being berthed in the far aft, away from the C Deck cabins there. Not sure what the writers were smoking. Also, when the ship breaks apart, the Boat Deck is dry, the same when the funnels fall.
