Multiple agencies worked together in the recovery of the body, including the Placer County Sheriff’s Office Dive and Swiftwater Rescue team and California State Parks.
The body was recovered on June 10 and further investigation identified the decedent as Eric Aguayo, the man who was swept away while swimming at Yankee Jims Bridge a month ago.
