His name was Riley Strain. He was 22 years old. He had been missing for 2 weeks after he was kicked out of a bar while severely intoxicated. His body was finally found in a river today.
I know it’s a big college, but it’s scary to think this was a person from the same college that I go to. There are a lot of things about Riley’s story that don’t exactly sit well with me. For instance, why was he kicked out of the bar and left completely on his own? I feel like someone should have been with him given how drunk he was. This seems like a tragic accident that could have easily been prevented had someone simply cared enough about Riley’s safety.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Riley’s family. May he rest in peace.
