YACHATS – Police are investigating the death of a man found Monday afternoon on a gated access road to the Amanda Trail and Grotto area just south of Yachats.
The body was found about 1:30 p.m. by an Oregon State Parks employee checking the trail who noticed blood on the trail south of the suspension bridge across Amanda Creek and then spotted the body on the auxiliary road about 50 feet east of U.S. Highway 101.
Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies and Oregon State Police closed off the entrance to the area from the highway while they investigated before removing the body just before dark Monday.
