MERLIN, Ore. -- The body of a San Francisco man who disappeared with his family 11 days ago in the Oregon wilderness was discovered Wednesday.

"At 12:03 p.m., the body of James Kim was located in Big Windy Creek," said Brian Anderson, Undersheriff of Josephine County.

Anderson then broke down and could not continue his statement.

Gregg Hastings of the Oregon State Police Department then stepped to the microphone and said, "Arrangements are being made to have him moved from the area to an undisclosed location. The Kim family has made a specific request not to be contacted from any members of the media."

Kim's wife and two young daughters were found on Monday in their car, where they had been stranded for more than a week, stuck in the snow on a remote road.

His wife said Kim had set out on Saturday, looking for help.

The wife and daughters spent Monday night in a hospital, but left the hospital Tuesday.

Kim was an editor for the technology Web site CNET.

"We just want them to know that our thoughts are our prayers have been with them from Day 1," Hastings said. "This obviously is extremely tough."

The search for the Kim family involved more than a 100 rescue workers.
