Skamania County Undersheriff Dave Cox released new details Wednesday about a Tacoma man whose body was found Nov. 1 in the Skookum Meadows area [nearest town is Cougar] of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

Homicide victim Juan Rojas Cortez, 30, had been working picking bear grass. When he failed to show up at quitting time, two co-workers started looking for him and found his body. He'd been shot in the torso. Suicide has been ruled out, and detectives are trying to determine whether his death was accidental or intentional.
