Riley Strain’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against his former fraternity brothers a year after he was found dead in a river in downtown Nashville. The 22-year-old University of Missouri student was found dead in the Cumberland River nearly two weeks after he disappeared during a drunken night out celebrating the Delta Chi fraternity formal last March. Strain’s family claims the fraternity “had a duty of care to Riley Strain as a member of the Delta Chi fraternity and as a ‘brother’ in the organization, and over which Delta Chi asserted control,” according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by WZTV.
