Bryce\u2019s death has left those who knew and loved him facing a heartbreaking loss.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The tragedy unfolded late Monday night, August 17, as emergency crews responded to the river and began an extensive search. Columbus police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, a fire department boat, drones, and other resources were involved in the search, while the Dillingham Street Bridge was closed during the emergency response.<\/p>\n

According to the Muscogee County Coroner\u2019s Office, Bryce was later found near the Columbus Trade and Convention Center. He was pronounced deceased at approximately 8:57 a.m. Tuesday, August 18. Authorities determined that his cause of death was accidental drowning.<\/p>\n

The circumstances surrounding Bryce\u2019s passing are especially heartbreaking because he had turned 20 years old on August 17, the same day the search began. What should have been a day marking a new chapter in his young life instead became a day of unimaginable sorrow for his loved ones.<\/p>\n
