Man found dead in Russian River identified

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office has identified a Pittsburg man who died Saturday from an apparent drowning off Monte Rio Beach at the Russian River as Jose Fernando Campos-Campos, age 20.

Campos-Campos disappeared while on a raft with a friend’s two children, who were found around noon unaccompanied by an adult, igniting a search for their older companion.

Campos-Campos’ body was recovered from the river depths several hours later, but his name was withheld until Sunday to ensure his family had been notified, authorities said.

Friends said Campos-Campos couldn’t swim.

He was not wearing a life jacket, authorities said. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
