Man Threatened to Kill Livestreamer at Site of Mysterious River Death
Livestreamer Henry Poston said he feared for his life after a man threatened to throw him into a Rhode Island river.
A livestreamer's video showing a man threatening to kill him on a Rhode Island bike path has gone viral, following claims of a body found in the same area. Henry Poston, who films himself lying on an electric longboard during "coffinboarding," shared the video on X on September 29, which garnered 3 million views. In the footage, Poston encounters a cyclist who claims to be "Joshua" and asks him to leave the path for a wooded area near a canal.
After leaving, the man reappears, threatening Poston and saying, "Your ass is sucking canal water" and "You know what that means right? That means I already killed you, you're dead in the bottom of the river." Poston claims he believes he was going to die that day and escaped approximately six miles to safety. He notes that just two months prior, another man had been found dead in the same river at the exact location.
Poston, 28, Efrain A. Espinoza, was recovered from the Blackstone River in August after going missing. Poston stated he had no evidence linking the two incidents, and the investigation into the death continues.
