Pomeroy’s body was discovered in the Willamette River located in Hyak Park, Oregon, on Wednesday around 10 a.m., according to a press release from the Benton County Sheriff's Office.

Pomeroy’s family told Portland Monthly that the accident occurred when their inner tubes, which were tied together, flipped over in fast-moving currents after hitting a snag on the Willamette River.

Willamette Week revealed that the company sold dozens of properties to its pension fund and has struggled to pay bills.

It’s a shame, because this is a good vintage in the Willamette Valley.
