SI Craig Strickland ay hindi dumanas ng sakit sa kanyang huling sandali, ayon sa kanyang asawa.

Natagpuan ng Oklahoma Highway Patrol Marine Enforcement Division ang katawan ng singer sa Bear Creek Cove nitong Lunes, isang linggo matapos umanong mawala si Strickland habang nasa duck hunting trip. Ayon sa kanyang asawang si Helen, hypothermia ang sanhi ng pagkamatay ng singer.

“The night of the accident he had fought his way out of the water and up a hill before the stages of hypothermia set in,” pahayag ng 29 na taong gulang na si Helen sa Instagram. “He experienced no pain in his final moments and simply felt like he was falling asleep.”

Si Strickland, lead singer ng local Arkansas band Backroad Anthem, at kanyang kaibigan na si Chase R. Morland, 22, ay napaulat na nawawala noong Disyembre 26. Makalipas ang dalawang araw, natagpuan ang katawan ni Morland.

Sa kasamaang palad, natapos ang paghahanap noong Enero 4, at sinabi ni Helen na, “We can finally rest knowing that he is at Home in Heaven with his Father.”

“They found him lying in the shape of a cross looking up to his Father,” pagpapatuloy ni Helen. “Thank you to every single person who prayed for him and our family during this time. There was not a more peaceful way for him to go into the arms of our Lord, and I know your prayers had a role in making that happen. I know he saw Jesus at that moment when he laid down and walked arm in arm with Him into a better Everlasting Life.”

“I love you with all my heart Craig Michael,” pagtatapos ni Helen.

Nang kumalat ang balitang natagpuan na ang katawan ni Strickland, nag-tweet si Helen at sinabing, “Thank you Lord for leading us to him today. I will praise you, Amen.”

Bago nawala ang dalawa, si Morland ay nag-tweet tungkol sa kanilang trip at sinabing, “In case we don’t come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm.”
