Can anyone out there explain the interest?
As I posted a week ago, half naked from the waist down, is not unusual, in a story such as this.
There’s a community within our society, that this seems to happen to, more than other communities.
Repost from state board by babble on:
“Dr. Michael Graham has examined dozens of bodies pulled from the Mississippi River throughout the 40 years he spent as St. Louis’ Medical Examiner.
The recently retired pathologist said the absence of water in the lungs of a body that has decomposed for that long is not unusual. A victim could still drown and be found without water in their lungs.
Many of the bodies pulled from rivers and other bodies of water are also found nude are partially nude, Graham said. Clothes and shoes can be pulled off by currents, get snagged by something in the water or possibly be weighed down by getting filled with sand.”

FR licensed pathologists with experience examining drowning victims are welcome to add color.

Metro Nashville Police Department spokesperson Kris Mumford said Strain’s death “continues to appear accidental” after a detective attended the first autopsy, The Tennessean reported Sunday. Mumford said toxicology results were pending, but there is no apparent foul play. The first autopsy won’t be complete until all testing is finished.
Was there a sudden appearance of a smiley face nearby?
So what was cause of death if not drowning?
Article suggests he must have been murdered, but there is another explanation. He may have died from head trauma after falling off a bridge. A drug addicted bum may have found his lifeless body, pilfered his clothing, and then shoved his body in the river.
Just because there was no water in his lungs does not mean he was murdered. It only means he died before being shoved in the river.
Another but wilder explanation is that he took off his clothes in a drunk stupor, THEN he fell and hit his head and died with his corpse weird position where he was teetering over the river. A strong gust of wind or a swinging tree limb or a couple of possums jump on his back and SPLASH in he goes.
The last is way too incredible but I am just bringing up possibilities, and it is possible.
Either he was murdered by a bum or a bum found his dead body. The mere absense of water in his lungs doesn’t clear that up one way or the other.
