Body floating in Willamette River identified as Utah resident

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The man whose body was discovered floating in the Willamette River near West Linn has been identified, Clackamas County officials announced Monday.

Investigators said a medical examiner recently identified the man as Eric Charles Meszaros, 30, of Utah. 

On Wednesday, deputies responded to the river near the I-205 bridge after a 911 caller reported seeing the body floating around 7:45 p.m.

Officials pulled the body from the river, but “did not observe any obvious signs of trauma, and the man appeared to have been in the river for some time.”

No other details were immediately available.

Anyone with information about Meszaros’ death is encouraged to contact law enforcement.
