Flooding in the greater Portland area appeared to have claimed a life Monday -- a man's body was found face-down in rain-swollen Hedges Creek in Tualatin, police said.

The man was identified as 54-year-old Ronald D. Albertson. A medical examiner will determine the cause of death. Police said the death appears to have been accidental.

Hedges Creek runs generally west to east from the wetlands near SW Tualatin Road to a point where it drains into the Tualatin River, near the Tualatin River bridge on SW Boones Ferry Road.
