COOS BAY, Ore. — A body that washed ashore on Horsfall Beach near Coos Bay, Ore., has been identified as Jayson Thomas, a man who was swept out to sea last month while carrying his 3-year-old son.

Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said the body was discovered Saturday.

Thomas and the boy were on a beach along Oregon’s southwest coast when a sneaker wave pulled them out to sea. The toddler’s body has not been recovered.
