As read in the summary, villagers can get stuck in the water between the farms sometimes. Also if food (such as:carrots, potatoes, wheat/seeds/bread) is misthworn in the water, the villager will try to pick them up but cant move while hes in water. Thus he will stay there forever ubtil the items despawn.
