It’s heartbreaking to learn that Riley Strain’s cause of death has been confirmed as drowning and ethanol intoxication, deemed accidental according to an autopsy report obtained by TMZ. Riley, a 22-year-old college student from the University of Missouri, tragically passed away after going missing during a trip to downtown Nashville with his fraternity brothers.
In early March, Riley was asked to leave Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink, and he was last seen that night. Despite efforts from friends and authorities, Riley’s body was found in the Cumberland River two weeks later, eight miles from where he was last seen.
The autopsy also revealed the presence of Delta 9 in his system and a high blood alcohol level of .228, with no significant signs of trauma noted. This news has deeply saddened many, as Riley’s disappearance had sparked hope for his safe return. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
