The body of 30-year-old American tourist Ashley Phillips has been recovered in Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica, following a 14-day search. Phillips was reported missing earlier this month, and authorities believe she was swept away by a flash flood, known locally as a “cabeza de agua.” Her family confirmed her death, expressing profound grief. The search involved local authorities and volunteer groups navigating challenging terrain. The incident highlights the dangers of rapidly changing river conditions during the rainy season in Costa Rica. Officials have not released details regarding the circumstances of the incident beyond the suspected cause of death. The U.S. State Department has been notified and is providing assistance to the family.
