The search for a missing 59-year old Coos Bay male may be over. According to a news release from the Oregon State Police, “OSP is continuing the investigation into a fatal motorcycle crash reported Thursday afternoon, Oct. 2, off Highway 38 about twelve miles east of Reedsport near the Loon Lake turnoff. The victim’s name will be released Friday. Preliminary information indicates on October 2, 2014 at approximately 2:57 p.m., OSP, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and local emergency responders were notified of the discovery of a male lying next to a motorcycle off an embankment along the north side of Highway 38 near milepost 12. Upon arrival, emergency responders confirmed the male was deceased. Subsequent investigation indicated the motorcyclist was traveling westbound when it went off the highway and down about 30 feet to the base of an embankment. According to the Douglas County Medical Examiner, the 59-year old male’s body was at the scene more than a day. The victim was wearing a protective helmet. OSP troopers from the Coos Bay Area Command office are continuing the investigation into the cause of the crash. OSP was assisted at the scene by Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Bay Cities Ambulance, local fire personnel and ODOT.” John Ambrosini, who operated the Green Spot in downtown Coos Bay, was part owner of Anthony’s Garden in Millington, and part of the Coos County Compassion Coalition Oregon Marijuana Program in Bunker Hill, has been missing since last Friday, Sept. 26, when he failed to return after a motorcycle ride to Roseburg.
