Man Who Died After Falling Into Poudre River Identified
LOVELAND, Colo. (CBS4) - The body of a man who fell into the Cache la Poudre River Friday night has been identified.
Authorities have identified the victim as 33-year-old Eric McIntyre.
After McIntyre fell in the river deputies say a family member flagged down a driver for help. The driver then drove to an area that had cellphone service so they could call 911.
Rescue crews couldn't find the Loveland man Friday or Saturday. They picked up the search Sunday morning and located McIntyre's body.
"The man's body was discovered in the Poudre River near Upper Landing just under one mile down river from where he was last seen," the Larimer County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
McIntyre's death has been ruled accidental by the coroner but the exact cause will be released later.
The current Poudre River water conditions are relatively normal for this time of year
