The 12 year old Kaukauna boy has died after going missing last night. Kaukauna police have released the details surrounding the event, and say that four brothers went to a retention pond to release a turtle. Three of the boys entered the pond, and the one on the bank noticed two of his brothers struggling in the water. The land-bound boy got the attention of some residents at the nearby Lamplighter Apartments, and a woman jumped in to pull two of them out. The 12-year-old was not initially seen in the water, but authorities, who were called to the scene, found him after a short search. The boy was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. Initial reports stated that the boy was 13, but the Kaukauna Police have since verified that he was 12, and they estimate that he was in the water for around an hour and a half to two hours before being found. The investigation remains ongoing.
