The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified a body found Saturday in the East Fork of the Lewis River near Daybreak Park as a camper from Gresham, Ore., who went missing in late December.
The medical examiner said 27-year-old Vadim Muhkin’s cause and manner of death were still pending.
Clark County deputies said they were searching for a missing camper near Larch Mountain on Jan. 1. They said Muhkin was camping with friends at the Sunset Falls campground two days earlier. He’d been drinking with the group and then wandered off, according to the sheriff’s office.
Search and rescue volunteers scouted the area but couldn’t find Muhkin.
