Tom, I agree that a leaking sunroof (blocked drain channel) is a good 
probability.

I have seen in my own car where water from an overflowing front cowl 
will flow right through the ECU compartment and then, once the ECU is 
nicely swamped, the water continues flowing under the carpet right on 
to the rear seat flooring where it then pools.

The ECU will even continue to function (with some difficulty) while 
it is still partially submerged.  For a while.
