Search crews including Logan County Emergency Management Agency, the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources and agencies from
surrounding counties had been searching since late Saturday evening
to no avail until this morning. Although a extensive length of the
creek was under search, the body was within a mile of where friends
last saw the kayaker before he headed around a bend in the creek.
A 10-foot logjam that was believed to have caused the man to lose
control of his kayak was finally broken up. It was after this that
the man's body was discovered.
Heavy downpours yesterday had slowed the work until this morning.
