I would have to say based on primary physics, if the ball fell untouched by the fielder and he was quickly able to coral the ball and get a double play, It was most likely a Fly ball. A "line drive" left untouched by a fielder who is "Camp{ed} UNDER" it most likely scoots past the fielder far enough to make a double play very difficult. Considering the ball should land 4-5 feet behind the location of the fielder, if it was a line drive.
Based on the description given this is an IFF or an "intentionally Dropped ball" one or the other. the result of the play most likely the same (apart for the live ball vs dead ball bit).
