Authorities in Seaside have confirmed the identity of a man found deceased on Seaside Beach as Wayne Wilson, 64, a resident of Seaside.

Seaside Police and the City of Seaside today said Wilson had been reported missing Thursday evening, October 9. This prompted an overnight search involving Seaside Police, Seaside Fire & Rescue, and the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office. He was last seen around 6:30 p.m. near his home in the vicinity of N. Wahanna Road and Broadway Street.

At approximately 7:37 a.m. Friday, Seaside dispatch received a report of a man down near the Avenue A beach access. Emergency responders arrived on scene and confirmed Wilson was deceased. The Clatsop County Medicolegal Death Investigator was called to conduct an examination.

The City has stated publicly that no further investigation is pending.

“The City of Seaside wishes to thank Seaside Fire, Police, and Dispatch for their continual efforts on behalf of the community,” the City said. “The City also extends its gratitude to the community member who took the initiative to call SPD early this morning and report finding Wilson.”

No further details have been released regarding the cause of death.

Seaside is known as one of the safest beaches, not just on the Oregon coast but in the nation. It is a wide open beach with many eyes locked on the area because of various businesses on the beachfront.

There was one disturbing incident in Seaside back in 1997 when two beachgoers were killed by two young men in an admitted “thrill kill.” The couple, Gabriella Brooke Goza, 26, and Frank Nimz, 36. were sitting on the beach late at night waiting for the sun to rise when a pair of residents in their 20s murdered them.

Today's incident, however, had nothing to do with any criminal act.
