No further information will be released about the cause of death of University of Portland freshman Owen Klinger by Portland Police or the Multnomah County Medical Examiner.
Klinger’s body was found in the Willamette River near the St. Johns Bridge on Oct. 20, two weeks after he went missing.
“The Medical Examiner has conducted an autopsy and positively identified the deceased as Owen Klinger,” Kate Wilson, communications coordinator for Multnomah County said in a statement to The Beacon Wednesday. “No further information will be released in accordance with ORS 192.345(36), which exempts the release of these records to the public.”
Portland Police said there is no public safety threat related to Klinger’s death.
“We have found no evidence of foul play,” said Portland Police Public Information Officer Lt. Brad Yakots.
“There is a detective still assigned and we will always take additional information if a community member has any to give to the bureau,” Yakots said.
