A body recovered from the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park likely is that of a man who headed down the river on a makeshift wooden raft with his dog late last month.
Park rangers last Friday recovered the body near River Mile 6 and turned it over to the Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office. "Initial information indicates the body is that of missing person, Thomas L. Robison," a park release said Monday. "The Coconino County Medical Examiner will confirm positive identification."
Robison, 58, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, left his personal vehicle parked at Lees Ferry, the release said. There was no mention in the release of what became of the man's dog, a 25-pound Corgi.
An investigation into the incident was being conducted by the National Park Service and the Coconino County Medical Examiner.
