According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, 64-year-old Donald Wright of Searcy drowned Saturday after getting caught in a sinkhole which opened below the falls near Dead Man’s Curve.
The sinkhole is located near Sadler Falls just south of Mammoth Spring. Game and Fish issued a statement Sunday asking anyone floating the Spring River in Fulton County to avoid the area. Game and Fish officials, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Fulton County authorities have installed buoys and roped off the area where the whirlpool is located.
