Medical examiner's report on Todd Ragsdale expected Monday Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jan. 31, 2016 at 4:29 PM Updated Jan 31, 2016 at 4:45 PM Posted Jan. 31, 2016 at 4:29 PM Updated Jan 31, 2016 at 4:45 PM » Social News ASHLAND — A medical examiner report on the cause of death for distance runner Todd Ragsdale is expected Monday. Searchers found the 46-year-old Talent resident's body near Ashland Creek Saturday afternoon a quarter-mile from the Granite Street reservoir. Even though searchers had combed the area, they originally missed Ragsdale in the densely vegetated terrain between the reservoir and swimming ponds, Jackson County Sheriff's Sgt. Shawn Richards said. "We had searched that area," Richards said Sunday. "It was very difficult to see through the brush, and steep." Richards declined to elaborate on a possible scenario or cause of death until the medical examiner's report. He added there was no indication that Ragsdale may have fallen. Ragsdale left his house around 10:30 a.m. for what he said was a light run or hike, deputies said. His Honda Element was found Thursday afternoon in a parking area above Lithia Park and he was reported to Ashland police as missing at 3:30 p.m. A Go Fund Me account has been set up to assist Ragsdale's wife and family. "Even though this has been an absolutely tragic result, there was a great outpouring of people willing to give and go look, running community offering their support," Richards said.
