The group were floating down the Ogden River on Saturday on a tube when they made the horrific discovery.
Speaking to Fox 13 News, Kyleigh said: ‘It feels like a movie it really does. He had camo on top and a black shirt, so he looked like a fisherman.’
Eric continued: ‘Once I seen the head, honestly I knew what it was. I wasn’t expecting it at all. I really thought it was a bag of garbage.’
Samantha added: ‘Who knows how long he’s been missing and who’s looking for him? Yeah, I mean, he could be a dad or a grandpa or something.’
Ogden Police department are currently trying to identify the body while the medical examiner is conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
