Yasu drowned themselves because they still felt responsible for inciting the tragedy, and also because they were afraid that Battler wouldn't accept them once he learned the truth about their body.

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend reading the manga version of Episode 8. Several parts were altered to give more concrete answers or expand upon the story. The same goes for Will's breakdown of the witch's illusion in Episode 7, where he now clearly explains all the crimes.

For example, after the scene of Beatrice and Battler drowning, we see Beatrice waking up inside the world of the catbox along with an amnesiac Battler.
Hoping to make him remember everything, Beato starts up the first game, leading back to the start of the series. This scene confirmed that the Player Battler in the Meta world was the identity of Battler Tohya lost at sea. This is further reinforced in the epilogue where Tohya reunites with everyone. In the Manga version, the Player Battler is also there alongside Beatrice, and we see Tohya's memories of his life as Battler leave Tohya and merge with the Player Battler.
