The information we know is that THE PLAYER asked whats wrong with Narfi to Wilhelm, Wilhelm said she picked flowers on the island near geirmunds hall, shes dead in the water.

I've played many playthroughs and majority of my playthroughs have 2 iron arrows floating in the water above where reyda is and they start floating down the stream, I think this was an oversight by the devs and meant to put those 2 arrows inside of reyda but maybe placed it wrong.

I think the devs also didnt put much thought into the quest but it's obvious they wanted you to assume something happened at Geirmunds hall and she died.

We know she reached the island because she has ingredients in her satchel but for some reason shes in the water.

I think the best bet would be to assume she went to Geirmunds hall and encountered a Draugr which shot her with 2 arrows, possibly even used melle weapons but we have no way of telling. She fled and fell in the water and drowned because of her wounds.

I think the devs didnt put much thought into it and used iron arrows when they meant to use ancient nord arrows.

Lets think for a minute, this is probably one of the first side/miscelaneous quests they put in, possibly very early in the development, if the player is following the main quest line as expected, in which they just did the starter quest unbound, then the bleak falls burrow. killed the dragon, and traveled to ivarstead to then go up to high hrothgar, they expect in an RPG that u would explore a little bit and do some side quests, pretty much Ivarstead is the first location along the main quest line in which no one just hands you a quest, you are there just because you are passing through, however players will be like "ooh a new town" and explore it, the devs knew this so as they are making the main quest line they threw some side quests in. I believe this was one of the first and thus was overlooked, unintentional errors include the misleading quest information given by wilhelm, the iron arrows, and also the unfortunate bug with the dark brotherhood in which I discovered, I started the side quest to find reyda, forgot about it, and then joined the dark brotherhood, got told to kill narfi, I went back and got the necklace but couldnt give it to narfi because I was supposed to kill him.

I believe there are so many bugs, errors, and misinformation in this quest not only because it was one of the first side quests but because they actually intended to have Reyda inside of geirmunds hall, but chose to not do that in the end. Possibly because they use Geirmunds hall in the quest forbidden legend and didnt want people going through the place at the start of the game just because of a cheap silver necklace to appease a retard.
