SOMERS, Wis. (WFRV) – A 39-year-old Wisconsin man is dead after drowning in a river after he heroically saved his brother, who was also struggling in the river.

According to a release, on May 7 at around 1:30 p.m., deputies with the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 2000 block of Sheridan Road in the Village of Somers for a possible drowning.

Preliminary investigations reveal that an adult man was swimming in the Pike River and began to struggle. A child that was with the man left to get help. That is when the man’s brother and another adult came down and jumped in the water to save him.
