7-31-15 body of father who tried to rescue son pulled from lake

TOWN OF WESCOTT, Wis. (AP) — The body of a man who jumped in a Shawano County lake to rescue his 10-year-son has been recovered in northeastern Wisconsin.  The body was found after authorities resumed a search of Shawano Lake early Thursday.  Shawano County Sheriff Adam Bieber says the boy was tubing on the lake without a lifejacket Wednesday and lost his grip while trying to get back on a pontoon boat. Bieber says the boy’s father jumped in the water, and the boat carrying the boy’s grandfather and 9-year-old brother drifted away.  Sheriff’s officials found the 10-year-old boy in the water near a buoy.
