A second body was located at about 2:13 p.m. near Newport Beach by the Lake Delton police and fire departments. Wisconsin Dells police confirmed it was the missing boater, identified as 20-year-old Francesco L. Di Filippo from Chicago.

Wisconsin Dells police said the body found in April was identified as 75-year-old Luis F. Di Filippo, also of Chicago.

“The Wisconsin Dells Police Department sends its deepest condolences to the Di Filippo/Schultz family,” police said in a statement. “While tragic, we hope that the recovery of Francesco provides a measure of closure for them.”

Police received reports in April that a “boat had capsized on the Wisconsin River, south of the Kilbourn Dam,” which is an hour north of Madison.

Three people were in the boat at the time of the incident, with one being able to “safely swim to shore,” police said. The recovered boater was met by police and rescue units and handed over to medical services for treatment, officials said.

The two missing boaters were not seen after “disappearing under the water, near where the boat had capsized,” police said.

Aerial and underwater drones, shoreline searchers and boats with sonar capabilities were also deployed for the search in April, police said.
