In the wake of Riley Strain’s tragic death, followers of the story have taken to social media to pay tribute to the late college student. “My heartfelt condolences to family and friends! We all hoped for a miracle. RIP #RileyStrain,” one person wrote on X. “They officially found Riley Strain’s body in the river & my heart breaks for his family & friends. I couldn’t even imagine your kid leaving for spring break & never coming back home. rest in peace,” another user tweeted. But while the public continues to grapple with Strain’s death, some others continue to question the circumstances surrounding his mysterious disappearance.
Sharing her thoughts, a Twitter user with the username @ZoyeW cast doubts on Riley’s disappearance story, noting that the timeline did not add up. “Could he have been drugged? All he ordered was one alcoholic drink and two waters. And if you’re with your frat brothers why didn’t the one who led you down the stairs go with you[?]” she questioned.
Several other social media users shared similar sentiments, with many seemingly wondering why his fraternity brothers let him leave the bar alone. “Have they ever explained WHY #RileyStrain was the ONLY member of his party escorted out that night?! I’ve seen no statements from the fraternity or school even, also,” a concerned user queried.
