"While floating down the Willamette River on the evening of July 13, the inner tubes tied together snagged and caused an accident in which Naomi Pomeroy drowned; search efforts were hampered by debris, strong currents, and ragged rocks that made underwater searches unsafe, and her body was later recovered after canoers spotted it and identified it." - Rebecca Roland
