Lac La Belle police and the Wisconsin DNR have opened a joint probe to establish how he fell, what aid was attempted, to determine whether legal action is warranted.

Overview

  • Rescue crews responded after a 10:40 p.m. Friday 911 call reporting a boater overboard and searched through the night before resuming at dawn.
  • Teams located and recovered the victim about 12 hours later in roughly 90 feet of water near where he went overboard on Saturday morning.
  • The family identified the victim as 18-year-old Aiden Radosevich of Pewaukee and friends set up a GoFundMe to cover funeral and memorial expenses.
