The body of a missing 23-year-old La Crosse man was found at noon Thursday on the banks of the Wisconsin River.
A news release from the Wisconsin Dells police said that a person kayaking on the river in the Lower Dells alerted authorities. John Dwyer's body was found about 1,800 feet southeast of the Kilbourn Dam in the city of Wisconsin Dells in Columbia County.
According to the release, Dwyer's injuries were consistent with a fall. The Columbia County Medical Examiner's office is assisting the Wisconsin Dells police with the investigation.
The Dells police were contacted by Dwyer's family Sunday afternoon. Dwyer went to the Dells with friends on Saturday to celebrate several birthdays. He did not return as planned.
Dwyer's last known location was in downtown Wisconsin Dells. Friends said he left the group while they were at Nig's Bar.
Dwyer's death is the third in the Wisconsin River at the Dells in less than a year.
Mitchel Blanchard, 21, of Pardeeville drowned in the river April 27 after running from police who were investigating an altercation at the Showboat Saloon. His body was found April 28 at the dam.
Alexander McNair, 23, of Wisconsin Dells drowned after jumping from the Hwy. 12/23/13 bridge over the river. His body was not found until July 24.
