Strassmann had been missing since June 21, and a search ensued to try to locate him in Ljubljana, Slovenia. On Friday, authorities found his body next to the Ljublianica River. The time of death was determined to be around midnight on Saturday, June 21.

“Johannes was not involved in an illegal poker game,” a person in the Facebook group wrote. “He was just visiting some old friends here in Ljubljana. Everything was just fine until this accident.”
