Reporter, NBC OUT
University of Missouri student Riley Strain, whose sudden disappearance made national news in March, drowned in a river outside of Nashville, Tennessee, and there's evidence he'd been drinking heavily, his completed autopsy revealed Tuesday. 'Riley Strain, a 22 year-old-male, died as a result of drowning and ethanol intoxication,' Assistant Medical Examiner Gulpreet Singh Bowman wrote. Ethanol intoxication happens when a person drinks too much alcohol.
NBC News has reached out to Strain's stepfather Chris Whiteid for comment. Strain went missing after being asked to leave Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink in downtown Nashville while on a trip to the city with the other members of the Delta Chi Fraternity for a spring formal. In a statement released a week after Strain's disappearance, Luke’s 32 Bridge + Drink said Strain was served one alcoholic drink and two waters before being escorted out by security around 9:35 p.m.
