The body of a Bonners Ferry man who fell into
the Kootenai River near Troy while scouting for
wedding locations with his fiancé in December
has been recovered by the Lincoln County
Sheriff's Office.
Lincoln County Undersheriff Brandon Huff said in
a news release the body of 41-year-old Trevor
Applegate was recovered around noon today.
Huff says Fish Wildlife and Parks employees
working in the area located the body in the
water and called 911.
Lincoln County Sheriff's deputies, Troy
volunteer ambulance, Troy volunteer fire and the
David Thompson Search and Rescue team were
called in to search for the man after he slipped
in the river on the afternoon of December 6,
according to Sheriff Roby Bowe.
High river flows, cold temperatures and icy
conditions along the river banks hampered rescue
efforts. |
