A 53-year-old man has apparently drowned in Geneva Lake near Big Foot Beach State Park. Witnesses have told the police---and---a number of media outlets they saw the man swimming---then---heard him yell for help---before he disappeared under the water. Some swimmers did make an attempt to save him---to no avail. The incident happened Thursday afternoon around 1 o’clock. Divers found the man about 45 minutes later about 110 feet off the shore in 8 feet of water. Police told Channel 12 TV they have identified the Lake Geneva man---but are not naming him yet. Family members reportedly told police the man was a strong swimmer. An autopsy will be performed to determine his cause of death.
