Somers, Wis. — A man who was reported missing earlier last week was found dead in a drainage culvert in the Village of Somers on Sunday, according to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department.
Robert W. Taggart, 54, of Somers, was located in the 10300 block of County Highway S around 10:07 a.m. on April 27. Authorities say the death does not appear to be suspicious and that Taggart likely died from exposure to the elements.
Taggart had been the subject of a missing person report earlier last week, a source familiar with the investigation told Kenosha County Eye.
Sheriff David Zoerner thanked the Somers Fire Department, the Kenosha County Highway Department, and members of Taggart’s family who assisted in the recovery efforts.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends impacted by this tragic event,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Anyone experiencing a mental health crisis or in need of someone to talk to is encouraged to contact the Kenosha Human Development Services Crisis Line at 262-657-7188, which is available 24/7.
Taggart’s death remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the Kenosha County Medical Examiner.
