Three Survivors Found After River Stranding | Durham News

Three days lost in the wilds of west Michigan, a family of three—two women and a nine-year-old boy—were found alive after their river tubing tubes burst on the Muskegon River. Rescuers located them dehydrated, covered in cuts and bug bites, wearing only swimsuits, having survived by eating bark and flowers and drinking river water. The ordeal began when one woman missed a dentist appointment, sparking the search that spanned rugged terrain. Exhausted and disoriented, they’d circled endlessly in the brush before being spotted—a miracle rescue. Body cam footage captured their emotional reunion with rescuers who immediately provided clothing and aid. A chilling reminder: nature’s beauty can turn deadly without proper preparation.
