Autopsy results pending in death of CF man – Iron Mountain Daily News

FLORENCE, Wis. Although an autopsy was completed Thursday on a Crystal Falls man found dead in the Brule River, results will not be released pending the completion of a toxicology report, Florence County Sheriffs Department officials said.

Deputies do not suspect foul play at this time in the death of 60-year-old Jerry Hamilton.

Hamiltons body was found Wednesday afternoon in about 5 feet of water about 10 feet from his vehicle.

Deputies and Florence firefighters first discovered Hamiltons car about 4:45 p.m. Monday near the Brule River boat landing north of Florence, about 30 feet from shore with its back half in open water.

Deputies believe Hamilton drove onto the ice at the boat landing and along the shore. It appeared Hamilton tried to turn around when the vehicles back tires fell off the ice into open water, deputies said.

Hamiltons family members were especially worried about his disappearance after finding his Crystal Falls home trashed with broken chairs, broken glass and ripped couch cushions.
