TERREBONNE, OR -- The body of a 37-year-old from Prineville was found in the Deschutes River near Terrebonne, over the weekend. A friend reported the person missing Saturday night.

The two had been swimming near Lower Bridge Way, but the friend left for an errand and when he returned, the victim had disappeared.

Deschutes County Search and Rescue responded that evening, but were unable to find the person. More resources responded to the area Sunday morning, including 17 SAR volunteers and the swift water rescue team, K9’s, and drone teams. After approximately five and a half hours, they found the body in the river approximately ½ mile downstream from Lower Bridge Way.

DCSO says this is a non-criminal investigation and nothing suspicious was noted. 

The name of the deceased is being withheld pending next of kin notification.
