Because the water was very cold (-2o C), many of the passengers died because of that. I would think that some of them also got hurt before they got in the water, causing them to either drown because they was unconscious, or because they bled to death. Some of the passengers probably didn't had their life vest on, forcing them to struggle to keep them self afloat. They probably drowned (from being exhausted) / froze to death (from the cold water).

Many of the passengers could possibly have been saved if the lifeboats had came back for them.
