IMO, while I know some men do accidentally fall into bodies of water and drown, there are many deaths of young men found in rivers who did not drown. Some were initially erroneously classified as drowning because of hurried or not thoroughly / competently done autopsies on bodies that had no obvious signs of trauma. When families had autopsies re-done more thoroughly, the victims were found not to have drowned. Families did not believe that the young men had walked far out of their way, or climbed down a steep embankment, or climbed over a barrier just to pee in a body of water on a frigid night; thus, their skepticism over drowning. In some cases, there was evidence that the man did not die on the night he disappeared, but days or even weeks later. In other cases, perfectly ambulatory men "drowned" in water up to their knees. There is much documentation of these other suspicious deaths in which the men's bodies were recovered in bodies of water in the sources I mentioned in my previous post, as well as in numerous others. I realize that it is much more comforting to believe that victims die through accidents brought on by poor choices such as walking alone at night after drinking and / or deciding they must urinate in water, than to entertain the possibility of something sinister. I sincerely hope that Achim has not suffered this fate, and is found alive, but there are worrying similarities between his disappearance and that of young men whose bodies were later found in rivers, canals or other bodies of water. MOO.
