LA PINE, OR -- The body of a La Pine man was discovered by elk hunters near Davis Lake, Sunday afternoon.
Gary Humbard was reported missing in September. His pickup was discovered near Davis Lake about a week later but several search efforts were unsuccessful. The body was found less than a mile from where Humbard's truck was parked. Based on evidence located at the scene, the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office identified the remains as 61-year-old Humbard.
DCSO Search and Rescue volunteers and Deputies logged more than 350 hours over seven operations to search for Humbard. The Deschutes County medical examiner determined he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
