The Missouri college student who vanished then was found drowned after being booted from a Nashville bar in March had nearly three times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood when he died, according to a newly released medical examiner’s report.
Riley Strain, 22, had a blood alcohol content of .228 on the night of March 8, WSMV reported, confirming that he was extremely intoxicated when he was caught on camera staggering down a Nashville street before vanishing.
Strain, who was last seen in downtown Nashville, was found two weeks later about eight miles downstream in the Cumberland River.
Though speculation initially ran rampant that foul play had been involved in Strain’s death, the new report confirmed he died from drowning and intoxication, and was ruled accidental.
