Lotus Band Member and Son Found Dead in Arkansas Lake After Kayaking Disappearance
Chuck Morris, percussionist for the band Lotus, and his son Charley were found dead 24 days after they went missing during a kayaking trip in Arkansas. The bodies were recovered thanks to technology and efforts from rescue teams who used remote-operated underwater vehicles in a "challenging environment" that passed depths of 180 feet. The search operation included dive crews, boats, dogs, and more from several agencies. The water temperatures in the lake had dropped to the 30s and 40s in the days following the kayakers' disappearance.
