Chuck Morris of the band Lotus and his son Charlie disappeared from Beaver Lake in Arkansas, and are likely presumed dead after drowning.
Charles Morris, 47, and Charley Morris, 20, disappeared from Beaver Lake in Arkansas on Thursday, KATV reports.Five days since her husband and son disappeared while kayaking on Beaver Lake in Arkansas, Thompson said that law enforcement is now working to recover their bodies. Lt. Shannon Jenkins of the Benton County Sheriff's Office confirmed the two are presumed dead. Thompson believes they likely drowned after one fell into the cold lake from a kayak and the other tried to rescue him.
According to Chuck's bandmate Jesse Miller, Lotus had just finished a 25-city tour. Charlie was home for vacation, and the family decided to travel from Kansas City to Beaver Lake, Arkansas to unwind. "We got home, and they weren't back yet. My husband being the adventurer that he is, we're like, 'oh, they must be having a great time,'" she said.
On the first night, they recovered a kayak, and the next day another, Thompson said. They later found Chuck's hat and his coat, but other than those traces, the two men disappeared. She said the current theory is that one of the men fell into the water from his kayak. Weighed down by soaked clothing, he struggled to swim, prompting the other to leave his kayak to attempt a rescue. In the cold water of Beaver Lake, the two likely drowned, Thompson said. She added that the theory was corroborated when cadaver dogs hit near the location of the theorized site of the drowning.
