The team went out again Wednesday after flood waters receded. That’s when they found the man’s cabin, described in the sheriff’s statement as a “primitive riverside dwelling.”
The water team found the cabin covered with flood water and caught on fire during the flood.
The man’s body was found near a downstream fishing site.
There has been at least one other death reported from the weekend flooding.
