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.

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.

Is it a silly theory to wonder if he was trying to take a piss in the river, lost his balance, and fell in the water?
