The bodies of a missing Denver band member and his son were recovered from a lake in Arkansas over the weekend after the duo went out kayaking.
On March 16, Chuck Morris and his son Charles"Charley" Morris V were reported missing after kayaking on Beaver Lake near Fayetteville, Arkansas, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
Chuck Morris was the electronic and acoustic percussionist for Lotus, a five-piece band based in Denver that, for eight years, has been creating"electronic dance music with instrumental post-rock," according to its website. They had started kayaking on Beaver Lake in Benton County around 11 a.m. with plans to return by 2 p.m. Chuck Morris' wife began to worry once they weren't home by 4 p.m. and called the sheriff's office.
Storms had started to move through the area, causing wind gusts up to 35 mph. According to a GoFundMe created to support the family,"the weather and other elements created a perfect storm on the lake, and in the lake, that was unsurvivable."The efforts were scaled back on March 22, though they continued to work to recover the two men.
After 24 days, on April 9, rescuers found both of their bodies and were able to recover them. Charley Morris' body was found first and the sheriff's office told the family they believed the cause of death was drowning. Later the same day, Chuck Morris' body was located. Lotus will have multiple benefit concerts in Denver, Pennsylvania and New York with 100% of net proceeds from these special shows going directly to the Morris family.
