Missing student Riley Strain’s body found in Nashville river

The body of missing University of Missouri student Riley Strain has been found in a Nashville river after he went missing leaving a country bar earlier this month, authorities said.

“The body of Riley Strain was recovered from the Cumberland River in West Nashville this morning, approximately 8 miles from downtown,” the Metropolitan Nashville Police wrote on X.

His body was found in the Cumberland River near 61st Avenue North around 7:30 a.m. Friday, news station WKRN reported.

No foul play is suspected, but an autopsy has been scheduled, police said.

Strain was visiting the Music City with his Delta Chi fraternity brothers when he vanished leaving country star Luke Bryan’s honky-tonk bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge, on March 8.

The 6-foot-7 finance major purchased one alcoholic drink and two drinks of water during his visit, according to TC Restaurant Group — the operator and owner of Luke’s 32 Bridge.

The bar shared that security made the decision based on their “conduct standards” after they noticed Strain’s behavior and then escorted him from the venue through our Broadway exit at the front of our building” at 9:35 p.m.

“He was followed down the stairs with one member of his party. The individual with Riley did not exit and returned upstairs.”

Strain told his friends he would return to their room at the Tempo by Hilton, about five blocks from the bar.

However, Strain was seemingly captured crossing Gay Street at around 9:47 p.m. after leaving the bar — about a 17-minute walk from Luke’s 32 Bridge and in the opposite direction of the hotel, according to Nashville Police.

Sounds like he just fell down at a bad spot.

If his friends were telling the truth he wasn’t that drunk, then probably. There was a reason the bar threw him out. Those “friends” are highly questionable letting him leave in that condition by himself.

Poor young man. May he rest in peace.

I have seen people in Nashville bars take their shirts off and scream at the top of their lungs without getting kicked out. He had to be pretty bad off.

I think these “friends” are saying this to ease their own conscience.

Yeah, When I saw how close he was to the Cumberland River I figured he fell in some how. It is sad for the family.

“THAT DRUNK” by the standards kids use today is a far cry from OK.

Maybe they need fences from keeping drunks from falling into the river.

Someone found his credit card on the bank of the river. Doesn’t everyone shed their credit cards before they accidentally fall into a river?

I think either the bar is lying about how much he had to drink (to cover their ass legally) or he had some more to drink SOMEWHERE else. Then, he stumbled out on the street/riverbank and some low life mugged him.
