The death of a 27-year-old Germantown man whose body was pulled from the Baltimore harbor last month has been ruled accidental by the chief medical examiner.

Branson Oduor died due to blunt force head injuries “in the setting of alcohol intoxication complicated by drowning,” Stephanie Moore, a spokesperson for the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said in an email.

Oduor went missing in the early hours of April 4 after a night out at The Horse You Came In On Saloon in Fells Point. Security footage showed him leaving the bar and walking northbound on South Broadway from Thames Street.

Baltimore Police obtained footage of Oduor walking from the Inner Harbor area, around Fleet Street and South Central Avenue, at about 4 a.m. His electric bike was later found near the 600 block of South President Street.

Oduor’s disappearance sparked a weeklong search led by his family and girlfriend, Emily Costa. Millicent Obongo, his mother, said she drove from Germantown every morning to search for her son.

Oduor’s body was pulled from the harbor the morning of April 14. His death reignited conversations about why there aren’t any railings guarding Baltimore’s waterfront.

In the development of Harborplace, officials decided against placing railings around the harbor for fear they’d give people a false sense of security, encouraging them to sit on them and likely fall over. The city has added 35 life rings and 26 ladders around the Inner Harbor, officials said, after Ryan Schroeder fell into the water and died in 2018.
