CNN —Riley Strain, a Missouri college student who went missing after leaving a downtown Nashville bar and whose body was later found in a river, died of accidental drowning and alcohol poisoning, the medical examiner’s office said Tuesday.
Strain’s body was found in the Cumberland River in West Nashville on the morning of March 22, several miles from where he had gone missing.
The autopsy report said Strain’s blood alcohol level was 0.228, which is almost three times the legal driving limit.
CNN obtained a copy of the autopsy report from CNN affiliate WTVF and has reached out to the Strain family’s attorney for comment.
Correction: A previous version of this story cited the wrong CNN affiliate for the copy of the autopsy report.
