Nine Boating Deaths in Wisconsin So Far This year

There has been 9 boating deaths in Wisconsin this year. The latest data from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource website show nine total boating deaths recorded this year, between May 1st and August 1. Recreation Warden Nick Webster says the number is expected to go up based on new information in the past few days. Among the nine fatalities, all victims were adults. They were men between 30 and 71 years old, a trend which Webster says is different from other years when children were also victims.
