At about 6:41 p.m. Monday, the Calumet County Sheriff’s Department received a call from two hikers who found a body in the woods at the Brillion Nature Center off Highway PP in the town of Brillion. Deputies found a 28-year-old man deceased and lying in a wooded area about a quarter mile from the roadway near a walking trail.

Sheriff’s department investigators processed the scene and conducted numerous interviews. An autopsy will be performed Tuesday by the Fond du lac County Medical Examiner’s Office.
