A body found in a National Park Sequoia river was confirmed as that of a woman who disappeared in the park when she was swimming with her sister two months earlier, announced park officials.
The resident of the Puente, Jamarie Calasanz, was swept away in the rapidly moving waters of the Kawah river on May 25, according to the authorities. His body was found on July 24 and the Coroner’s office of the County Tulare confirmed his identity on Monday.
The recovery teams had to wait until the river was slowed down before they could recover its body, the authorities said.
Calasanz’s body was found less than a mile from the place where it disappeared, the national parks of Sequoia and Kings Canyon announced in a press release on Tuesday. The SWIFT-WATER SWIFT-WATER DIRECT TIME OF THE TULARE County Sheriff’s Bureau and the National Park Service went on June 5, from active search to “limited continuous” research due to the rapid flow of water on the river and the difficult land of the region. This means that the operation was repressed but continued until the Calasanz body was recovered. Officials said they continued to search the region using drones, diving teams, fast water teams and field teams with research dogs.
Calasanz was in the water with his sister, Joanne, when they felt a strong current keep them away from the shore. Calasanz swamped to save her sister and the two women were removed by water, according to his family. Joanne Calasanz told Times that she had been able to find her place, but her sister was swept away by rapidly evolving water.
A few hours later, the research and rescue teams located Calasanz’s body with a drone. Her body was under a waterfall, and we assumed that she had already drowned. But the recovery mission was canceled because the rescue staff could not go to his body in the dark, according to his family.
The emergency crews returned the next day to the waterfall, but his body had disappeared, according to his family.
In the weeks that followed, the California Office of Emergency Services joined research with the Sheriff’s office, which used planes, underwater cameras and Sonar technology to search for Calasanz’s body.
Renowned diver Juan Heredia, who acquired a reputation for the location of drowning victims, also volunteered to help research.
Sheriff managers reduced their objective in an area along the river in early July, but water conditions on the river were still in motion and they could not find the body, according to the Sheriff’s office.
Once the recovery is finally over, Francis Calasanz thanked God, the rescue teams, the county officials and other volunteers who joined the effort to search for his daughter.
