The medical examiner determined that Graham died from drowning, with blunt-force trauma contributing to his death.Initially, Rand mentioned nothing about being on a boat with Graham the night before. Instead, he said that he, Graham, and other friends spent the night drinking and playing cards before going to bed.However, as the investigation revealed more details, including that the boat crashed while Rand was driving, Rand was later charged with felony murder and other serious charges.About Hidden True CrimeLauren Matthias was a television reporter for a decade and has followed the Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell case since 2019.
