Search called off for missing hiker after body found in Bowers Lake

The Rock County Sheriff’s Office called off the search for a missing hiker after a body was found in the northwest corner of Bowers Lake.

According to a news release, a Sheriff’s Office drone spotted an anomaly in the water just after 11:00 Friday morning. Shortly before noon two divers from the Sheriff’s Office Rescue Team recovered a body with the help of the medical examiner.

While the medical examiner has yet to identify, the body, it is believed to be that of 66-year-old Kevin Doyle who went missing Wednesday morning after going hiking with his two dogs in the Storrs Lake Area.

Doyle’s dogs were found dead in Bowers Lake Thursday.
