At 4 p.m. Thursday, the rangers got word that a raft was stuck against a rock in the Hell’s Half Mile rapid in the monument’s Lodore Canyon. Under the watercraft, the victim had lost his lifejacket and fallen unconscious. When the raft was removed and secured, the victim floated down the river, DNM officials said in a release.
On Friday, guides from a private rafting company, Adrift, found the victim’s body 10 miles down the Green River from the rapid. The body was airlifted and taken to the Moffat County coroner. The identity of the dead man is being withheld pending notification of his loved ones.
