Man drowns in Lake Nokomis
By Daily News staff
A 42-year-old Oconomowoc man drowned in Lake Nokomis Sunday evening.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department Wayne A. Otto was using an underwater metal detector when he apparently stepped off a steep edge of the lake and disappeared into water estimated to be eleven feet deep.
Otto's companions were able to recover him from the water and bring him ashore. Bystanders called 911 at approximately 5:36 p.m. and performed CPR on Otto until paramedics arrived.
Tomahawk EMS, Nokomis First Responders and deputies from Lincoln and Oneida Counties all responded to the scene.
Otto was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
