Crews find missing man’s body in Shawano Lake

A child has been found safe on Shawano Lake, while the search continues for his father.

Robertson entered the water to assist his 10-year-old son, who had been tubing behind a boat and was having difficulty, the release said.

Bieber says the high winds pushed the boat away from the tube.

The 10-year-old was able to swim to a shallow point of the lake and was brought to safety by local officials. The search was suspended Wednesday night, and officials said it was expected to resume Thursday morning.

The Shawano County Sheriff’s Office, Shawano Fire Department and the Shawano County Dive Rescue Team all took part in the response. Neither Robertson was wearing a life jacket on Shawano Lake.

“He always tried to do fun things with his kids”. The family was in Wisconsin staying at their vacation home on the lake. Robertson’s body was found around 8 a.m. Thursday.

Neighbors said Robertson is survived by his elderly father, two sons, two stepsons and a wife.
