PEWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) — The body of a 69-year-old Waukesha County man has been recovered from Pewaukee Lake.

Police say the body was discovered by a fisherman just before 6 a.m. Sunday near the public pier on the east side of the lake. Investigators were not immediately sure how long the body was in the water.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say they found no initial sign of foul play. His name was not immediately released pending notification of relatives.

prevention-I understand where you are coming from. If he was a fisherman, and died doing what he loved, it can bring some comfort to those that loved him.

It was an appropriate thought. Prayers to him and his family.

What? how in any way shape or form does it seem that he is a fisherman? because he was found by a fisherman? because hes 69? because hes in a lake?

As sad as this is, he seems to be a fisherman, so I wonder if it was death by doing what he loved? My thoughts and prayers to the family, regardless.
