Jonathan Honey, 33, was reported missing March 31, 2023, after separating from friends during a bachelor party in Austin’s Rainey Street Entertainment District. He was last seen at about 2 a.m. near a taco truck after leaving a bar to find food and did not return.

Honey’s body was recovered from Lady Bird Lake on April 1, 2023. The Travis County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death accidental drowning; toxicology showed alcohol and substances consistent with over-the-counter or prescribed medications. The examiner found no signs of trauma or foul play. The Austin Police Department said there was no evidence to support criminal activity in his death and noted alcohol plus easy access to the lake as a common factor in several recent drownings there.

The case is one of multiple similar incidents in 2023 that prompted the city to add solar lighting and fencing near Rainey Street, with further safety improvements planned. If anyone knew Jonathan, saw him that night, or has information about his movements near Rainey Street, please share what you know.
