There's room for reasonable disagreement on this. You can say he was down because he gave himself up, based on the letter of the law. Or you can say he wasn't down because he was attempting to continue the play, not end it, which is against the intent and spirit of the law.
If the roles had been reversed, you'd have zero people on this site accepting that there was even the slightest chance that the player was giving himself up.
