Why did this happen when I defrosted my ground beef?

Bought flash frozen ground beef in vacuum sealed package. Was a deep ruby red when frozen.

Defrosted in a bowl of cold water in the fridge. Meat turned super pale and was surrounded by a bunch of bloody liquid.

Water in bowl was clear, so no leak.

What caused this?
