Police confirm body found in river Sunday is Corbin Anderson

OGDEN – Ogden police confirmed on Tuesday that the body of a child found in the Weber River is Corbin Anderson.

Corbin was found by a man walking along the banks of the Weber River on Sunday, said Ogden Police Lt. Scott Conley.  Police said the preliminary cause of death is accidental drowning.   

Jack Price spotted the body of a child lodged under a log in the water, about 5 feet from the bank of the river and about a quarter mile downstream from the location where 4-year-old Corbin Anderson fell into the water more than two weeks ago.

“I’ve seen a lot of debris floating in the river and I really couldn’t tell and I walked down because I wasn’t sure what I was seeing.  I picked his hand up to make sure and it broke my heart,” said Jack Price, the man who found the body.

Price, a father himself, said he has been searching the Weber River for Corbin for the last few weeks and found the boy’s body near 21st Street.
