<p>One person has died and two people are missing after a group of six people were swept over a waterfall in Oregon on Saturday afternoon, a local sheriff office says.</p>
<p>The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office said it had rescued three people from the Deschutes River who were transported to the hospital, while another person was declared dead at the scene.</p>
<p>Emergency responders used drones to look for survivors near Dillon Falls after receiving an emergency call in the afternoon and plan to resume search efforts on Sunday after pausing overnight.</p>
<p>Dillon Falls has a 15ft (4.5m) drop that turns into "churning rapids in a quick, step ladder-like pattern", according to Visit Central Oregon.</p>
<p>The falls over the Deschutes River are near the city of Bend in the Deschutes National Forest, a popular spot for visitors.</p>
<p>Each summer, thousands of people boat, kayak or float on inner tubes on the river, which boasts whitewater areas as well as trout and salmon fisheries.</p>
<p>Local fire and police officers responded to 911 calls around 15:00 PDT (22:00 GMT)</p>
<p>Officials have yet to name the victims so they can notify family members before.</p>
