[careyrn2000]

more than likely, he was drunk and just drowned. I know someone who was so drunk he tried walking back to his dorm after leaving a bar and woke up soaking wet on the embankment of a river. Scared him into sobriety.

thats so sad i wonder wat happened 2 him

[digiprez77]

I lived right there, and it is pretty conceivable that someone could fall in and drown, especially in wintertime. That is a nasty part of the river, especially when there is a lot of debris. He could have been on some ice near the bank and slipped and gone in. The fastest way from the campus to downtown is a road that goes right by the river right there, and it is not a busy area, more like an alley, so there would be no one to see and help him.
