The search is over for a man who was swept away in the Arkansas River. Authorities say 24-year-old Gregory Bashaw was last seen in Crow Creek on a swimming pool raft.

Bashaw and some friends were celebrating after OSU's big win, when he and another person took the raft down the creek. Tulsa Fire Captain Hubert Rouse: "One of them slipped on the mud, either decided not to participate, and one of them did get on the air mattress and this is why we're here right now because we're still trying to account for the person that was seen on the air mattress."

Authorities found Bashaw's body late Sunday night.
