Assume nothing.Interesting to find him in that area. That area was not only the place that was searched multiple times but it's also home to hundreds of homeless people. Hopefully more info on his exact location will be released.
"no foul play" Are we to assume that he walked from his house to this area at 2:30am (20 min walk) and just dropped dead? The girlfriend was not clear and obviously did not want the public to know they had a fight that night. There may have not been a fight. However, so many questions still remain. Was their a fight that led to suicide? Was their drugs involved? Was the friends and GF involved in the drugs and didn't want to be blamed? Was he dropped in the area recently? Did the parents know there was drugs involved and didn't want that to become public and tarnish his reputation?

The worst news for a parent IMO but he’s been found so there is some comfort in that.SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
For the second time in two days, a body has been found along the American River in Sacramento, police said.
There is no evidence that the two death investigations are related, according to the Sacramento Police Department.
At about 2:10 a.m. Monday, police were notified of a body found in the area of Highway 160 and the American River Bike Trail.
Police went to the area and found a woman dead.
This death investigation is separate from Sunday's case.
The family of Alex Holden, who's been missing since New Year's Eve, believes a body found along the American River on Sunday afternoon is their son.
The Sacramento County Coroner's Office said the body will not be identified for a few days, but family members said they are confident the body recovered is Alex Holden.
Family said detectives and the coroner's office notified them that Holden's passport and debit card were found on the recovered body, and the the body's clothing also matched Holden's description.

I am very curious why he had his passport - it is unusual IMO to carry this unless you need it for travel - or is this new for the twenty somethings ?

He was known to carry his passport as his means of identification. Normally I'd find it odd, but it was something he was known to do. If I can't find a link for that though, consider it MOO.The worst news for a parent IMO but he’s been found so there is some comfort in that.

Thank you.My opinion only, as a local.
That section of the trail is considered by just about everyone to be dangerous. Wooded, homeless, drugs, you name it. I've walked many parts of the trail, and even with a group, we never walked that part.
I didn't participate in the search on that part of the trail. I now have a bad knee and I assumed that searchers would walk the trail and cut off on both sides to search the surrounding shrubs/trees and then return to the trail, so I only participated in the midtown street one.
Now I'm really wondering if they did that. Or maybe they just walked the trail looking left and right assuming that if he were sitting somewhere, it would be right on/next to the trail and clearly visible. From what I'm hearing he wasn't that far off of the trail, in a clearing. In a clearing behind trees/shrubs? I don't know.
I'm saddened that with all the people volunteering to search, and the trail searched multiple times that it took this long.
Thank you for the factual information.So heartbreaking I am pretty familiar with this bridge from my bike rides. It would be difficult to accidentally fall off the bridge as there is a high chain-link fence on either side of the bridge. You could, however, climb the fence and jump off.

Hmm how did he secure the debit card inside the passport ? I find this very interesting IMOI think it was a personal choice.
"Holden also had his passport, which doubled as his wallet containing his debit card. (He did not carry a driver's license, according to reports, and rarely used his car.) Holden also carried the keys to his car and his apartment, along with AirPod earbuds, according to reports."
