Riley Strain’s cause of death has been confirmed by an autopsy report obtained by TMZ.
According to the report, the 22-year-old college student died from drowning and alcohol poisoning. His death was ruled an accident.
This news comes three months after Strain’s mother shared her son’s final text message.
Strain, a senior at the University of Missouri, went missing in early March during a trip to downtown Nashville with his fraternity brothers.
The night he disappeared, Strain was asked to leave Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink. Although his friends didn’t see him again after he left the bar, surveillance cameras, including a police officer’s body camera, spotted him several times before he vanished.
One of Strain’s friends called the police the next day to report him missing. Authorities started searching for him, but it wasn’t until March 22, two weeks after Strain was last seen, that they received a report of a body in the Cumberland River.
Officials confirmed the body was Riley Strain. He was found eight miles from where he was last seen.

This song was recorded in 1955, today it is considered as one of the best songs ever
First recorded in 1955, Unchained Melody has become an enduring classic, celebrated today as one of the greatest songs of all time. Certain tunes transcend generations, and this one is no exception. Originally written for the film Unchained, the song’s narrative follows a prisoner torn between finishing his sentence or escaping to reunite with his family.
The haunting melody by Alex North and evocative lyrics by Hy Zaret have made Unchained Melody one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, with The Righteous Brothers’ rendition being especially memorable. The song saw a powerful resurgence in 1990 with its inclusion in the film Ghost, where the unforgettable pottery scene featuring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore solidified its place in pop culture history.
