PRINEVILLE, Ore. -- Divers assisted by several agencies on Monday recovered the body of a Redmond man who drowned Saturday while kayaking and fishing at Prineville Reservoir, Crook County sheriff's deputies said.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, Crook County 9-1-1 dispatchers received several 9-1-1 calls reporting someone was in the water and in distress at the reservoir, north of the Powder House Cove Day-Use Area, sheriff's Lt. Mitch Madden said in a news release Monday evening.

"Crook County 9-1-1 had difficulty obtaining additional information from the reporting parties, due to poor cellular service in the area," Madden added.

Sheriff's deputies and medics from Crook County Fire & Rescue were dispatched to the scene. An Airlink helicopter crew also was sent to the area to assist, along with a drone and operator from the Prineville Police Department.

"Upon arrival, first responders located a kayak near the north shoreline of Prineville Reservoir, with no body in or around it," Madden said.

Airlink crews were able to land and reach the shoreline and kayak, which kayak was upside-down. They searched the nearby shoreline but were unable to find the person associated with the kayak. Airlink crews also located a backpack, with a fishing pole still in it.

A CCSO Marine Deputy arrived on scene and, with help from the Prineville Police drone, searched the area, but was still unable to locate anyone. Deputies continued searching the area for several hours and eventually concluded that effort, pending the arrival of more resources to help, Madden said.

On Sunday, CCSO contacted the Klamath County Sheriff's Office Dive Rescue for their side-scan sonar boat. Help also was requested from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Dive Rescue.

After several hours of searching, the KCSO sonar boat found someone at a depth of about 90 feet. Due to issues with other safety equipment, the recovery was postponed until the next morning.

On Monday, DCSO divers were able to recover the drowning victim, later identified as 39-year-old Ricardo Toribio Amezcua of Redmond. The lieutenant said his family has been notified.

"Ricardo was the sole occupant of the kayak and found not to be wearing a life jacket while utilizing the kayak to fish from," Madden said. "At this time, this appears to be a tragic accident, with no foul play suspected. CCSO extends its sincere condolences to the family of Ricardo."
