Two fishermen found the body of a missing canoer on the Buffalo National River, according to a report from KAIT.
Search and rescue teams in Marion County say the victim is 56-year-old Brian Hanson of Rockford, Illinois.
Searchers say two canoers fell into the river near the Clabber Creek Shoal, southwest of Norfork Monday. Another canoer survived by getting to the canoe and placing it upright.
Floating conditions near Clabber Creek Shoal were high and swift Monday, although since coming down.
Several agencies assisted in the search, including Buffalo Rangers, state and local law enforcement, and multiple fire departments.
