Thinking more about his credit card being found and the debris/trash in that area, I wonder if he was taking his phone out to look at it or call someone and while distracted, tripped and fell down that steep embankment and into water below? Perhaps in the process of getting his phone from his pocket his card fell out or perhaps his phone fell down the embankment and he slipped or was injured in the process of trying to retrieve it?
He might have already been experiencing head pain since it looked like he hit his head pretty hard when he fell the first time. I could imagine his foot or ankle might have hurt since his foot appeared to have been caught on a small speed bumb possibly? Perhaps that the pain or subsequent nose bleed, dizziness or nausea caused the notable change in his gait as he walks bent over in one of the videos? I can’t imagine the pain his loved felt watching it.
I also remember having a friend who while intoxicated also slammed her head against concrete stairs once and she lost consciousness for hours. (Fortunately, a classmate had a car with them and took her to the hospital while everyone waited for her to regain consciousness). However, perhaps something similar and very quickly also sadly occurred to Riley Strain while he was alone near the river.
I do hope his family receives the support and answers they deserve during this terrifying time for them.
