Authorities in Winnebago County are investigating a man’s body that had been found in a ditch in Fox Crossing, who has recently been identified as 54-year-old John Schaus of Fox Crossing.
The Wisconsin State Patrol has also been called in case Schaus had died due to a crash, but investigators say there is no definitive evidence of that taking place.
Schaus’ body was found face-down in water in a culvert and was discovered at around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities are hoping that an autopsy will be able to indicate a cause of death, as investigators say he was dressed for the winter weather.
