Many sources are running the story of a body found on the Willamette River near Rafael but nobody followed up on the circumstances or indentity. I have searched and can't find this information

Our sincere apologies are offered for an error on this story that has been corrected, mistakenly identifying the person found in the river with the name of a gentleman that died recnently who was a long-time area mechanic.
