The bodies of Lotus drummer Chuck Morris and his son have been recovered from a lake in Arkansas after both were reported missing nearly a month ago.
It was March 16 when 47-year-old Morris and his 20-year-old son Charley went missing after driving around the Beaver Lake-area town of Lost Bridge. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office released a statement after a search and rescue team recovered the bodies.
“After 24 days of recovery efforts, the bodies of Charles Morris IV (Chuck’s father) and Charles Morris V (Charley’s son) were recovered thanks to technology and the efforts of all staff,” said a statement published on Facebook. “Our hearts go out to the family of Chuck and Charley Morris and today we are grateful that we were able to help put an end to it.”
The Morris family also released a statement on Lotus’ Instagram account, which read: “Our family has been notified by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office that Charley Morris has been located. We have concluded that the cause of death was drowning.”
The Instagram post was later updated to say that Chuck’s body had also been recovered.
“Thanks to the efforts of local search teams. We truly appreciate your support at this time,” the family statement read.
Lotus is also hosting benefit concerts for the Morris family in Denver, Harrisburg and New York to “meet the family’s immediate financial needs.” More information can be found here.
