VANTAGE, Wash. — Kittitas County sheriff’s deputies used a patrol boat to recover the body of a man who died in a remote area along the Columbia River.
The 60-year-old Sammamish, Wash., man, Daniel Kruse, awoke about 4:15 a.m. Sunday at his cabin about 10 miles north of Vantage and complained of difficulty breathing. He stopped breathing soon after that, despite efforts by his 28-year-old daughter to revive him, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
Deputies used the boat to carry medics to the remote Scammon Landing location, where they confirmed that Kruse was dead, officials said.
It would have taken more than two hours to reach the area on steep, rough dirt roads.
