MONROE COUNTY, Wis (WRCO / WRCE) – The two bodies found in a Monroe County river have been identified.
The Sheriff’s Office says that video evidence confirms that Leath Lambert and Heather Larsen accidentally fell into the water of the Wyeville’s East Fork Lemonweir River, near Fort McCoy, and drowned.
The two were found after Monroe County’s Sheriff’s Office received a call from an individual who said they found a body in the river after looking for Lambert and Larsen, who hadn’t been seen after leaving a local bar the night before.
Foul play has been ruled out as an investigation into the deaths continues.
