WARM SPRINGS, Ore. (AP) — Authorities in Central Oregon say two suspects are being held in the beating death of a Seattle fisherman whose body was found in an abandoned railroad tunnel.

No names have been released. Sgt. Jason Erickson of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office told KTVZ (http://is.gd/cbkYic ) that the body of the 48-year-old man was found Wednesday near a popular Deschutes River fishing spot just south of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.

Sheriff Jim Adkins says the victim knew at least one of the suspects and alcohol appears to have been involved.
