RHINELANDER, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities say a 20-year-old Stevens Point man who drowned while swimming in northern Wisconsin was attending a natural resources camp run by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
Daniel Zurawski disappeared while swimming Wednesday night in Buck Lake at the Almon Recreational Area near Rhinelander. His body was found by a dive team and he was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
UWSP vice chancellor of student affairs Bob Tomlinson says the death appears to be an accident and it's not believed alcohol was involved.
Tomlinson says Zurawski, a UWSP sophomore, was with a group of other students swimming after dinner.
Zurawski was studying at Treehaven, a residential camp about 10 miles from Buck Lake.
