A 20-year-old Illinois man trapped in Turnagain Arm mud near Hope died Sunday, Alaska State Troopers said.
posted Monday morning, word reached troopers just before 6 p.m. that Zachary Porter was stuck in the tidal mud flats. Troopers, as well as Hope and Girdwood firefighters, responded to the call.
“Rescue efforts were unsuccessful, and died at approximately 6:43 p.m. after being submerged by the incoming tide,” the dispatch said. It said rescue teams recovered Porter’s body around 6 a.m. Monday. Troopers were gathering further details on the call Monday morning. Firefighters didn’t immediately return calls requesting additional information.
Quicksand-like mud along the arm can rapidly entrap unsuspecting beachgoers, in an area where sporadic cellphone reception can keep people from calling 911.
