 Drowning would be unusual, although it's about netting season in there I think, maybe a Indian fell in and got tangled?

Nets came out on Monday. Not sure if it was a fisherman or a non fisherman but they are searching for someone

Or maybe a weapon?

What would be unusual about a drowning in a powerful body of moving currents smack dab in the middle of a population the size of Pierce Co?

The Puyallup River typically sees a couple or so every year - at least that we know about.

 “Typically” not in that part of the river.

Perhaps that calmer part of the water is where a body may "typically" come to a rest in the slower current?
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

Some years back while Combat Fishing on the Green River in the dead cold of winter, our line up of fisherman witnessed a strange sight.
Just below Highway 18 and right through the middle of the drift, floats a guy barely treading water and dressed in street clothes.
 The river was moving fast and while a few of the guys tried to throw a line over him, the rest of us standing in hip deep, could only look at each other in disbelief as to what had just transpired.
He was soon out of sight down river and everyone agreed that the chances of his surviving was poor to none as there awaited a large log jam just around the bend.

We heard later, this guys first mistake was breaking in and stealing the truck just as the Police drove by.
His second, was when he realized he couldn't outrun the Cop's, he stopped the truck in the middle of the bridge (just up river from us) and jumping over the side he tried to swim for it. :bdid:
Had it not been freezing cold water sweeping him downstream, he may have stood a chance, but the log jam lying at the end of the drift, I'm sure sealed his fate. (I didn't hear if they ever found his body.)
