The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reportedthe city’s fire department got a call Monday morning of someone in the river on the city’s lower east side.
First responders pulled 31-year-old Jeffrey Bishop from the water. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.
According to a medical examiner report, a neighbor saw Bishop break his second-floor apartment window and jump out of it. The apartment is less than half-a-mile from the river.
