A man has drowned in the Russian River in Mendocino County. On Saturday afternoon, 47-year-old Jorge Medina of Ukiah was swimming in the river’s east fork off Eastside Potter Valley Road. He was found face down in the river. Deputies were called and when they arrived, they saw a witness performing CPR on Medina. Unfortunately, he died at the scene. It wasn’t clear what happened as Medina knew how to swim. However, he reportedly complained of a headache before the drowning.
