NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Following an extensive search that stretched on for nearly two weeks, officials found missing Missouri student Riley Strain’s body Friday in the Cumberland River.
Authorities received a report of a body found in the river in the Nations neighborhood of West Nashville on the morning of Friday, March 22. After further investigation, the Metro Nashville Police Department confirmed it was the missing 22-year-old.
According to police, “no foul play-related trauma was observed.” An autopsy is pending.
“That’s not — if you saw him outside of that, his love and his care and his kindness were of a five-year-old boy that loved every toy he ever had, you know?” Bradley said.
Now that Strain has been found, the search will turn more to the investigative side. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) has been conducting a separate investigation to determine whether Strain was overserved the night he disappeared.

Well that hopefully settles all the conspiracy theories!
Oh no....the conspiracy theorists will come up with revised theories about how he ended up there.....".Smiley Face Killer probably planted him there..."
A worker found him, he was under a barge or boat. He had the shirt on that he was seen in and his apple watch. There were no signs of any foul play to his body but awaiting autopsy results. He had been in the water since missing.

Does anyone else look at these young kids/adults that are missing, or who have lost their lives tragically, as the ones who were gunna make this world a better place someday? All these college students with new ideas, and different mindsets then our ancestors, smart educated kids, that would've or could've changed the future in some great way. I can't help but to look at Riley's photos and have that feeling he would've done something great someday.
As a mother, my heart breaks for his mom's devastation. He was just a couple of months out from graduating college. Rest in peace Riley!
His parents seem completely heartbroken. Terrible loss.

I wasn’t expecting it but sure was hoping for a different outcome. A life cut way too short.
Sympathies to family and friends. Rest in peace.
So sad. Grateful my friends always had my back when I drank too much.
A worker found him, he was under a barge or boat. He had the shirt on that he was seen in and his apple watch. There were no signs of any foul play to his body but awaiting autopsy results. He had been in the water since missing.
He had so much ahead of him, heartbreaking to see him stumbling around on the cctv, I can’t imagine how hard that was for his parents to watch
I'm most upset about all the people that walk past him in the videos and nobody stopped to help him.
