I’m inclined to agree with you. The accidental drowning sounds plausible to someone who doesn’t live in Sacramento, but as someone also from Midtown, that is a hell of a walk to water at 2:30 (or later) in the morning. I think he would have to be absolutely plastered to be able to walk that far and still be drunk enough to stumble into water, unless he continued drinking while walking. In addition, no cameras anywhere caught him walking that far? I get that it happens all the time, but for Alex it just doesn’t seem to add up logistically.Regarding the comments on: drunk and nearby water.
Please go to Google Maps and go to street view from 22 & I to the American River. It's 2.3 miles. And it's not like the bike trail runs right along the river where you just step off into the water. In every part that I've walked you had to slog through shrubs and tall weeds to get to the water's edge. And hope you didn't dodge around a big shrub and run into a homeless person. Or a wild animal.
I get that drunk people drown. But if you're that drunk that you'd drown would you really be capable of walking nearly 2 1/2 miles and then dodging through underbrush until you even found the water?
