MOSUL, Iraq - Navy divers on Thursday recovered the body of one of three soldiers missing since Sunday night's boat and helicopter accidents on the Tigris River.
A diver found the remains of one of two pilots whose OH-58 Kiowa Warrior crashed into the fast-moving river while they were helping to look for a Stryker brigade infantryman who'd fallen in after his boat capsized an hour earlier.
The search is scheduled to continue today for the soldier, Staff Sgt. Christopher Bunda, and the second pilot.
The body of Chief Warrant Officer Patrick D. Dorff, 32, of Minnesota, was mentioned in an earlier article
was found in Iraq Thursday, days after he was reported missing after a helicopter crash.
Michael Gilbert's article was written prior to the official release of the soldier's name.
