DELL PRAIRIE, Wis. — A 34-year-old Chicago man drowned Sunday in the Wisconsin River just north of Wisconsin Dells.
Deputies with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office say they received a 911 call shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday about a swimmer who went under in the river and never surfaced. That call, however, disconnected. A short time later, Sauk County Sheriff’s deputies received a similar emergency call about a male swimmer missing.
Emergency responders arrived and searched for the missing swimmer Sunday until they ran out of daylight. The search resumed Monday and after several hours of looking, the body of Jose R. Borbolla Juarez was recovered by divers. His body was found in about ten feet of water.
An investigation into the drowning is underway.
