During search for missing kayaker in Willamette River, crews find different person near Swan Island
2 min read
As multiple agencies searched the Willamette River for a kayaker who was last seen near Oregon City, the body of another person was found in the water in North Portland, Multnomah County Sheriff’s deputies said on Sunday.
"We have our detectives investigating the body," Deputy Alex Jarmer told KATU in an email Sunday night. "They are very early in the process so we do not have any info to share."
Deputies did not say if the body was immediately identifiable when it was discovered between Swan Island and Cathedral Park.
Multnomah County is one of several agencies that is assisting in a search of a man who was last seen kayaking late Saturday night on the Willamette, just north of the Willamette Falls in Clackamas County.
On Sunday morning, the U.S. Coast Guard found the man’s kayak, but he remains missing.
