WHITING, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Portage County Sheriff Mike Lucas says the 33-year-old man pulled from the Lower Whiting Park has died at a Stevens Point-area hospital.
The man was pulled from the water early Wednesday morning after someone else saw him go under. First responders said he was unresponsive at the scene. He was rushed to a hospital for life-saving measures.
Lucas adds that it appears drugs and/or alcohol were factors in the death. One other individual, who appeared to be highly intoxicated, was at the scene when first responders arrived. They are being questioned.
Names of those involved have not been released, and no further information is available at this time.
