Alaska State Troopers say a 44-year-old Wasilla man died in an apparent rafting accident in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
The body of Lawrence Christopherson was found Thursday afternoon in Montana Creek.
Troopers recovered the body after responding at about 1:45 p.m. to a report of a raft overturned in the popular fishing creek.
The raft had become hung up on a log jam.
The state medical examiner will conduct an autopsy.
Christopherson’s next of kin was notified.
