The Placer County Sheriff's Office said in an article on Facebook that the body of 23-year-old Andy Odon Ortega Fonseca of Sacramento, who fell in a river in Northern California while taking photos during the week -end, had been found early Monday afternoon.
A rescue team fought back in the area but had to suspend the search at 9 pm because of the darkness, according to officials.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Angela Musallam said a rescue helicopter infrared imaging system had briefly captured Fonseca's thermal signature in the water.
Musallam said that an untrained person, falling with a camera. can make chances for survival "very slim."
The sheriff's office warned those who planned to visit the area, forbidding them to go to sea until June.
