Undersheriff Dave Cox said Monday that 31-year-old Ryan Morgan was reported missing late Sunday afternoon after he became separated from his kayaking partner, Marcus Fant of Oregon City, Ore., in a stretch of river with many rapids. Searchers looked for Morgan late Sunday and again Monday. A search team from a whitewater guide service finally located Morgan's body and kayak Monday afternoon, wedged underwater in a logjam about a half mile from the Little White Salmon fish hatchery. The Oregonian reports that Morgan was appointed to fill a vacancy on the City Council in November after working for many years in the juvenile justice system. He was a board member for Weed and Seed, a community-based anti-crime program. |
