2 People Drown In Separate Incidents In SE Wisconsin

Law enforcement agencies are investigating two Thursday drowning incidents in southeastern Wisconsin.  The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reports an 81-year-old man died when he was trapped under a weed cutter in Wallace Lake at about 2:00 P-M.  The machine capsized and he wasn’t able to get free.  A 53-year-old man was swimming at Big Foot Beach State Park in Lake Geneva shortly before that.  Witnesses say he went under and was yelling for help, but they couldn’t reach him in time.  It took emergency responders an hour to recover the body.  No names have been released.
