By Gina Martinez, CBS / Yahoo | (Please note: This is the drummer for Lotus, not the local promoter of the same name). The bodies of Chuck Morris, a musician best known as the percussionist for the band Lotus, and his son, Charley, were recovered 24 days after the pair disappeared during a kayaking trip in Arkansas, authorities confirmed Sunday.
The Benton County Sheriff’s Office began its search for Morris and his son after they were reported missing on March 16, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities said the bodies were recovered thanks to technology and efforts from Carroll County Mennonite Disaster Service and Christian Aid Ministries Search and Rescue Team out of Tennessee, who used remote-operated underwater vehicles in a “challenging environment” that passed depths of 180 feet.
“Sheriff Holloway, along with the family of Chuck and Charley, would like to thank all the men and women who donated their time and efforts to help bring closure to the family and recover the two missing men,” the sheriff’s office said.
“Our heart goes out the family of Chuck and Charley Morris and we are thankful today that we can help bring closure,” the sheriff’s office said.
The pair went missing during a kayaking trip on Beaver Lake, a reservoir in the northwestern corner of the state, in mid-March, prompting an expansive recovery effort was launched.
