Deputies identified the swimmer whose body was recovered in the Three Pools Recreation Area as a 25-year-old Hong Kong man who had been studying in Oregon.

Kung Shing Yau

Kung Shing Yau had been studying in the U.S. for seven years, most recently at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Kayakers reported Wednesday night that they found his body down river from the pools. He went missing Monday after he jumped from a cliff, went under the water and didn't resurface.

Teams searched for two days before suspending the search on Tuesday.

His death is one of three presumed drownings this week in Oregon. Authorities continue to search for men who jumped into the Clackamas and North Umpqua rivers and were swept away.

Twenty-one people drowned in public, natural waterbodies in Oregon and southwest Washington last summer — down from 36 the summer before. An average of 27 have died over the past five summers.

Officials urge swimmers to be aware of water temperatures and hazards, wear lifejackets and refrain from drinking alcohol. They should also keep an eye on children near the water, abide by posted rules, swim with others and be aware of their swimming skill, officials say.
