Theology Professor’s Body Found After Drowning

A man who drowned in a sailboat accident was a longtime theology professor at a seminary close to where he died in Waukesha County. Rescuers recovered the body of 68-year-old Reverend Daniel Westberg on Thursday in Upper Nashotah (nuh sho’tuh) Lake in the village of Summit. Police and witnesses say he went sailing Wednesday when strong ducks made him duck to avoid the mast that was blowing around — and rescuers were called after he yelled for help. Westberg’s boat was found Wednesday afternoon, and a rescue camera later spotted his body 55 feet below the surface. He spent the last 17 years as a faculty member at the Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Delafield.
