The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office has disclosed the identity of a man whose body was recovered from the Willamette River last Thursday. The deceased has been identified as 30-year-old Eric Charles Meszaros from Utah. Investigators, thus far, have informed the public that they do not believe foul play was involved in the man's untimely demise.

Following the tragic incident, detectives pieced together the events apparently leading up to Meszaros' death.

The collision occurred on August 10, 2025, near McLoughlin Boulevard and Railroad Avenue in Oregon City.
