16-year-old who drowned in Columbia River near Frenchman’s Bar identified

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The body recovered from the Columbia River on Thursday has been identified as a 16-year-old boy, officials announced.

The Clark County Medical Examiner said Anthony C. Tarnoski died from an accidental drowning while swimming near Frenchman’s Bar.

Witnesses reported that the boy was in the river when he went underwater just 30 feet offshore and never resurfaced.

Boats, swimmers, multiple engines and a helicopter responded to search for the missing teen, including from the Vancouver Police Department, the Clark County Fire Department and the U.S. Coast Guard. However, despite efforts, the situation went from being a rescue to a recovery.
