CHEHALIS – The 51-year-old man who presumably drowned in Lake Mayfield two weeks ago has been positively identified as Terrence E. Murphy of Winlock.
His body was recovered on Monday by the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team in the area where he had jumped from a bluff at Ike Kinswa State Park.
Lewis County Coroner Warren McLeod indicates an autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office has said there was no sign of foul play.
The team used a submersible camera device, and located Murphy 65 feet below the surface between a cliff wall and a log.
