INDIANAPOLIS – The body of a kayaker who went underwater last week and didn’t resurface has been found.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources confirmed Monday that search teams recovered the body of 22-year-old Solomon Shirley.
A passing bicyclist spotted the remains just south of the Michigan Street bridge, DNR said.
A second kayaker, 30-year-old Marcus Robinson, remained missing.
Solomon and Robinson started at the White River at Riverside Park on Tuesday, April 16. A witness saw them being ejected from their kayaks at the dam at Belmont Beach. They didn't resurface, leading to a large search.
DNR and local police searched the area for days, utilizing boats, sonar, drones and an Indiana State Police helicopter. Police had earlier located two empty kayaks.
