Two people found dead in apparent drownings in Sonoma County last month following an atmospheric river storm that caused widespread localized flooding were identified Monday by authorities.

On November 23, a community member walking along the Piner Creek Trail in Santa Rosa at around 8:40 a.m. discovered the body of a man in the creek near Centurion Drive just south of Guerneville Road.

Santa Rosa police on Monday identified the man as 64-year-old Santa Rosa resident William Fowler. The Sonoma County Coroner's Office had not yet determined the cause of death Monday. Police said, however, no foul play was suspected and his death did not appear to be storm-related.
