Body found in mudflats near former B&M Baked Beans plant in Portland

May 14—A body was found Tuesday in the mad flats near the former B&M Baked Beans building in Portland.

A passerby noticed a person facedown on the mud flats and called for help around 11:45 a.m. The Portland police and fire departments both responded.

"Unfortunately when they got there it became a recovery effort, not a rescue effort," said Sean Donaghue, a fire department spokesperson.

A police spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for more information about the situation.
