Matthew Anthony,Matthew Schoenecker, Obituary, Death;- Three individuals whose remains were retrieved on Sunday after they entered the water while hiking the previous week in Soda Springs have been named.

Matthew Anthony, aged 44, from New York City, New York; Matthew Schoenecker, aged 50, from Los Angeles; and Valentine Creus, aged 59, also from Los Angeles, entered the water at approximately 3 p.m. on Wednesday near Rattlesnake Falls and did not come back to the surface, as reported by the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the recovery of the bodies of the three men,” the sheriff’s office stated in a social media update late Sunday morning. “Our deepest sympathies are extended to their families, friends, and all those impacted by this heartbreaking loss.”

Anthony, Schoenecker, and Creus were members of a six-person hiking group when they entered the water. According to deputies, a California Highway Patrol helicopter airlifted the remaining three hikers on Wednesday following the incident due to the difficult terrain of the area.

Dive team personnel were transported by helicopter on Thursday, and search operations resumed on Friday, albeit in a limited manner due to anticipated wind conditions that were expected to improve by Sunday, as per law enforcement reports.
