The Brown Deer Police Department is currently investigating a grim discovery made this week, as a deceased man was found near the Milwaukee River. The body was located close to a foot trail in the 900 block of North Green Bay Road, WISN reports. The call to authorities came just before 1 p.m. on Tuesday, prompting a swift response from local police and the North Shore Fire Department.
Upon arrival, responders confirmed the presence of the man's body, as earlier stated by police.
