Third victim found in Wisconsin lake identified

EAST TROY, Wis. (AP) — Authorities have identified the third man whose body was recovered from an icy southern Wisconsin lake.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday that the body of 21-year-old Mori Weinstein was recovered Monday afternoon.

The bodies of two other men were found in Mill Lake on Sunday, the day their friends reported them missing. The lake is in Walworth County, about 35 miles southwest of Milwaukee.

The search continued Tuesday morning on a southern Wisconsin lake for a fourth Illinois man missing since the weekend.

Crews have recovered the bodies of three men from the icy waters of Mill Lake in Walworth County since the four were reported missing Sunday.

Two bodies were found shortly after the search began. A third was recovered Monday afternoon at the lake about 35 miles southwest of Milwaukee.

Authorities say the four were reported missing after their friends staying at a lake house awoke Sunday and discovered footprints in the snow leading to a boathouse and an overturned canoe in the water.
