Family of Mizzou Student Found Dead in Nashville River Requests Second Autopsy

Concerns arise over the cause of Riley Strain's death, prompting a deeper investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the condition of his body.

The family of Riley Strain, a Mizzou student who went missing in Nashville, has ordered a second autopsy amid concerns over the circumstances of his death.
Strain's body was found in the Cumberland River without his cowboy boots, pants, or wallet, and with no water in his lungs, raising questions about whether his death was truly accidental.
The initial autopsy labeled Strain's death as accidental, but the absence of expected evidence such as water in the lungs has prompted further investigation.
Strain was last seen alive after being asked to leave a Nashville bar owned by country star Luke Bryan, leading to a two-week search before his body was discovered.
A celebration of life for Strain is scheduled, with attendees asked to wear green in honor of his vibrant spirit and love for the outdoors.
