WAUKESHA — A man who was found dead in Frame Park died from accidental drowning, according to SMÌìµØÂÛ̳ Police Capt. Dan Baumann.
The man was identified on Sept. 6 as Scott W. Yehle, 63.
Police presence was spotted across the Fox River from the playground at Frame Park last week.
SMÌìµØÂÛ̳ police and fire units responded to an area in the Fox River 400 feet south of Moreland Boulevard on the north side of the Riverwalk around Frame Park. The SMÌìµØÂÛ̳ Fire Department was able to recover the body.
"What we now know is the deceased is a male. We located articles of clothing in close proximity to the body along the shore. The individual was wearing shorts when discovered in the river. Initially, there were no obvious signs of trauma to the body. With any death investigation we will work with the SMÌìµØÂÛ̳ County Medical Examiner’s Office to positively identify this person as well as, determine manner and cause of death. These types of investigation can take time," Baumann previously said.
In the past months, Frame Park and the surrounding area has made headlines regarding things such as two stabbings and incidents at a homeless encampment.
