They’ve found two bodies in the past two days that aren’t Riley Strain.
Were these accidental deaths? Or did they have some help? Rivers are pretty popular places to dump bodies.
Nashville had more than 100 murders last year for the third year in a row.
People aren’t accidentally falling in the river in Nashville and drowning every three days on average. But they are being murdered at that rate. And that is the ones we know about. That doesn’t include those that are on the fringes of society who aren’t missed. I bet some of those end up in the river too. But not accidentally.
There is a reason it is a horrible idea to get drunk and go walking around at night in metro areas alone. Even more so in areas you aren’t familiar with. It isn’t a river that is going to get you.
In a lot, probably most, southern metro areas you only have to get a few blocks from a lot of really popular tourist areas to find some pretty sketchy areas.

Are they all drinking downtown by the river too?

I love the baseless speculation these things bring about. They're never correct. Occam's razor is almost 100% accurate. Dude was likely intoxicated and accidentally drown
A drunk guy accidentally drowning isn’t Occam’s razor at all. There are so many drunk people on Broadway every single night, they don’t just wander off and accidentally drown in the Cumberland. My first thoughts were suicide, but I think it’s more likely he was killed and robbed. I definitely thought the accidentally falling and drowning was a silly theory. That’s exceptionally difficult to do, even if you’re piss drunk.

Not to make light of an absolutely tragic situation, but this is definitely causing me to rethink my goals of “living in a van down by the river.”

Checks out. You should let the family know.

Nashville estimates that 230,000 people visited Broadway each weekend night in 2023. So yes, a LOT of people are drinking downtown by the river. I feel certain that some of them are in that number. Occam’s Razor.

That wasn't my point. Point was that very few of those murders occur under similar conditions, meaning it's more likely he drown as opposed to foul play.

Tens of millions of people get drunk on Broadway and surrounding areas every year.
Yet you almost never hear of someone accidentally falling in the river and drowning..
You say this is the most logical explanation. Yet history seems to say otherwise.

Happens multiple times a year in Austin, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc.
People think there's a serial killer in Austin with how many bodies they've found in Lady Bird Lake.

I’ve gone back and forth on this. I think the video with the police officer pushed me back towards accidentally fell in. At that point he was less than a minute walk from both bridges. I would think anyone looking to do something to him wouldn’t, because he could simply yell and the cop would be there in seconds. It said the cop was there for 45 minutes. If someone attacked him he would’ve heard yelling.
When he says “good, how are you?” You can tell he’s winded. At that point he had walked all the way from 3rd ave S and that entire walk is on a steady incline. He stopped to catch his breath and either sat or leaned on the railing. He lost his balance and that’s all it took. It’s a straight down drop to the river bank below. The card fell out of his front pocket during the fall.

And if you look up the number of homicides in all of those cities, they will dwarf accidental drownings each and every year. No one is saying people can’t drown. No one is saying people don’t drown. People aren’t saying this guy didn’t drown. They are saying statistically it is a lot more likely he was murdered than he fell in the river accidentally and drowned.
And there very likely is a serial killer in Austin preying on gay men. Watch out Aggy.

I suppose you think Chris Farley’s death was not as tragic as this one, and honoring him while trying to bring a small bit of levity/humor to the thread that I am almost certain no family member is reading is a horrible, horrible deed.

You’re responding to the wrong dude, Gump.
I said days ago that I don’t think he fell in. Extremely unlikely. I don’t even think he committed suicide which would’ve been more likely. People tend to notice 6’7 dudes jumping from a bridge.
If he got killed and robbed, which seems the most likely to me at this point, if they were just random hobos would they even care enough to throw his body in the river? And would they be sneaky enough to not be seen?

You’re missing the point, that this is the reason everyone is fascinated with this case. Yes, there are many homicides in every city, but most involve gang violence, domestic violence and people that generally know each other. Generally not just some random college student partying on Broadway.
Yes, millions of people get shitty drunk in downtown Nashville every year, but you never hear of anyone just disappearing. I’m sure there may have been a few, but I can’t remember any tourists just disappearing from Broadway in my 20 years here. That’s what makes it so interesting.

Hadn’t thought of it like that. Also hadn’t seen or been to that part under the bridge. That’s a pretty reasonable assessment.
So sad for the family. They know he’s gone, but they don’t *know*.

Especially with a police car and police officer presence like 50 yards away. Like I was saying, if he were attacked, then officer easily could’ve heard it.
Here’s a much clearer video of the interaction. You can see the cop car and how close it is to the bridge. They would have to be pretty damn bold.

I wonder what kind of crowd hangs out under that bridge after dark? I am sure they are fine upstanding citizens who would never try to rob a lone drunk guy wandering around lost.

So you seem to be local. Do you know if there is a homeless encampment under that bridge? That seems to be a very popular and common place to see them. In light of the report that a woman saw a homeless guy wearing his shirt, it makes me wonder if he ran into the wrong guy/s at the wrong time in the wrong place underneath that bridge.
