Yachats Rural Fire Protection District release - At 3:36 PM Monday, Yachats Rural Fire Protection District, Central Oregon Coast Fire and Rescue, Seal Rock Fire, and the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to Thor's Well for a person who had fallen into the water and appeared to be drowning. Responding units requested response from the United States Coast Guard, Oregon State Police, and the Lincoln County Technical Rescue Team. The first arriving units were met with conflicting reports from bystanders about whether or not the subject was still in the water, though units were quickly able to determine that the subject was in the water in Thor's Well. Due to wave conditions, and the nature of the well, personnel on the ground were unable to perform any recovery efforts.  A United States Coast Guard helicopter from North Bend arrived at approximately 4:10 PM. After two unsuccessful attempts, the USCG rescue swimmer was able to recover the deceased subject. Units began leaving the scene at 5:09 PM.  The events leading up to the subject falling into the water are unclear, but one bystander reported believing that the subject had been getting too close to the edge of the well.  Yachats Rural Fire Protection District offers condolences to the family of the deceased.
