Chicago Boater Found Dead After Wisconsin Dells Capsize

Francesco L. Di Filippo, a 20-year-old Chicago man who went missing in April after a boat capsized on the Wisconsin River near the Kilbourn Dam, was found dead in late June near Newport Beach by Lake Delton authorities. The incident involved three people, including his grandfather Luis F. Di Filippo, 75, whose body was recovered the day after the accident. The third individual on board was able to swim safely to shore. Francesco, a student at Wright College, was enjoying spring break with his grandfather at the time of the accident. The Wisconsin Dells Police Department expressed condolences to the Di Filippo/Schultz family and thanked the multiple agencies and volunteers who aided in the nearly three-month search. Authorities hope the recovery provides closure for the family after this tragic event.
