Yeon-Su Kim, a professor at Northern Arizona University, and her husband, who went missing while kayaking in Mexico’s Sonora state, have now been found dead.
Kim’s body was discovered in the Gulf of California on Sunday by a local fishing boat near Puerto Peasco, according to a verified GoFundMe page created to raise money to support the hunt for Kim and her husband, Corey Allen.
In a Sunday post to the GoFundMe website, it was said that “Today was a terribly sad day.” “Earlier this afternoon, Yeon-body Su’s was discovered by a local fishing boat south and east of Puerto Peasco. This is in spite of the three days’ worth of tremendous search efforts by volunteers for Corey and Yeon-Su.
Late Saturday, after failing to show up, Kim and Allen were reported missing.
Who Was Yeon-Su Kim
The School of Forestry at Northern Arizona University, where Kim served as executive director, released a statement Sunday night confirming her passing.
In a statement, university president Jose Luis remarked that Yeon-Su was “an outstanding faculty member in the School of Forestry and recognized academic leader.”
“We will find the right time and place to celebrate her legacy of a life well lived,” the statement reads. “In consultation with her family and friends, we will find the appropriate time and place to honor her accomplishments and contributions to her academic discipline, our university’s mission, and the broader community.”
Authorities are still looking for Allen, according to the statement.
