Search-and-rescue personnel on Wednesday afternoon recovered the body of a Lake Stevens man who drowned in the North Fork of the Skykomish River on July 19, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.
The body of the 27-year-old man was recovered from near Bear Creek Falls.
Positive identification of the victim, as well as the cause and manner of death, will be confirmed by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The area where it is believed the man had drowned was beneath a waterfall running through a narrow ravine where the water is turbulent and difficult to swim in, the sheriff’s office said.
