December 27, 2022 – Dodge Co., WI – At 3:21 p.m. on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a male subject who had been located laying in the Rubicon River, just west of State Highway 67 (Neosho).
Responders were able to locate a 29-year-old Neosho man who was deceased.
The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office and Medical Examiner’s Office are currently working to establish a cause of death and are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death as we do in all death investigations. While no foul play is suspected, it is important to gather all facts before making any finding of the cause of death.
Sheriff Dale Schmidt would like to remind all persons to use caution if going out on the ice. While the ice may seem sturdy in some locations, it may break easily in others. Using the buddy system when going out on the ice is always a good idea as well as wearing a flotation device and taking other safety precautions.
Multiple first responders and law enforcement agencies assisted at the scene including the Wisconsin State Patrol, Hartford Fire and EMS, and the Neosho Fire Department/ First Responders.
