The body of a University of Missouri student who went missing after leaving a downtown Nashville bar two weeks ago was found Friday, March 22, in the Cumberland River, police said. There were no signs of foul play.
Riley Strain, 22, was on a weekend trip to the Tennessee town when he was kicked out of Luke's 32 Bridge, country singer Luke Bryan's bar, on March 8, authorities said.
Since then, Strain's friends and family have been unable to contact him and police searches have been unsuccessful.
Riley Strain is seen in a video released by Metro Nashville Police. CNN highlighted part of this image.

Metro Nashville Police Department Police Chief John Drake said Friday that Strain's body was found around 7:30 a.m. local time after being spotted by a worker in the area.
"There is no other evidence to suggest anything other than" the young man's fall into the river, Drake said.
University of Missouri President Mun Choi informed students and staff in a statement Friday that Strain's body had been found. Counseling and support services were available, he said.
“As the Mizzou community mourns Riley, we keep his family in our thoughts and offer our support,” Choi said.
The medical examiner's office confirmed the body was Strain's, Drake said, adding that a shirt, watch and other "identifying factors" helped police make the identification. Drake said an autopsy is underway and Strain's family has been contacted. #rileystrain #missing person #river
