Authorities say it was an accident, an autopsy is not planned.

The Benton County Coroner has identified the man found in the Columbia River July 12th.

Authorities are still investigating the discovery of a man's body that was spotted in the river near Two River Park Saturday afternoon.

We all know of Miller Brewing Co's involvement with NASCAR.  For decades, they sponsored Rusty Wallace in the famous Blue Deuce (#2) car,  and won dozens of races.  Brad Kezolowski on a Cup title a couple of years ago in the car, and both men drove for Roger Penske.

One of the greatest attractions of the Columbia Cup is hearing the unmistakeable growl of an Allison or Rolls Royce Merlin or Griffin engine on the river.

A few hydroplanes took to the river over the weekend to get some laps in before the season starts in July.
