Two brothers are presumed to have drowned in Oregon after their raft flipped over on a swift-moving river on Friday, authorities said after a multi-day search.
The brothers, ages 66 and 67, and a 61-year-old man were trying to cross the Clackamas River to access Austin Hot Springs when their raft overturned and sent all three men down river, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday.
The 61-year-old man searched the area for the brothers but was unsuccessful.
Another group found the 61-year-old and offered to take him into town, officials said.
Officials also reminded the public that Austin Hot Springs is private property and closed for public use.
