SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) — Investigators have positively identified a human jawbone found by fishermen along the McKenzie River to be from a kayaker who capsized in 2003.
The Oregonian reports that Lane County Sheriff’s office investigators and the state Medical Examiner’s office matched the jawbone with the dental records of Sashidharan P. Chirukandoth, who capsized in rapids in December 2003.
After the jawbone was found, dive teams searched for more remains but none were found.
