According to police, the toxicology report investigating Riley Strain’s death has been completed

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (KY3/WSMV) – The Davidson County Medical Examiner’s Office has completed the toxicology report for Riley Strain, the Springfield Kickapoo High School graduate who went missing after being thrown out of a Broadway bar. Police later found his body in the Cumberland River.

The medical examiner told WSMV-TV in Nashville that the report is complete and will be released along with the full autopsy report when it is released. It is unclear when it will be released.

Strain’s body was found on Friday, March 22, eight miles downstream from where he was last seen, still wearing the black and white shirt he was wearing when he went missing on March 8, after he had been thrown from Luke’s 32 Bridge in downtown Nashville, police said.

Strain’s body was found after a two-week extensive search by plane, boat and on foot involving Metro Nashville Police, Nashville Fire Department, Nashville Office of Emergency Management, Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the United Cajun Navy, countless volunteers took part.

The University of Missouri student’s disappearance attracted national and social media attention, leading to much unfounded speculation about the circumstances of his disappearance and death. A TikToker who found Strain’s bank card on the banks of the Cumberland River fueled speculation even further.

From the outset, authorities stressed that there was no evidence to support the claim of a crime. The police department was inundated with tips about the possibility of a crime in the case, but none of the tips reviewed turned up any leads, MNPD said.

Videos released by businesses and police show Strain stumbling and falling after being thrown out of the bar in Nashville. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission has launched an investigation to determine whether Strain drank too much alcohol the night he disappeared.

Luke’s 32Bridge claims that Strain was only served one alcoholic drink and two glasses of water at the bar. The TABC worked with local law enforcement to determine where else he was served alcohol that night. Your investigation is ongoing.
