The dead body of a missing person was found at Picnic Point this weekend, according to Madison Police Lt. Dave McCaw.
""I don't think that anybody's in danger,"" McCaw said, though he would not comment on the cause of death out of respect for family members.
McCaw said police were ""looking for the person who was found,"" but said he did not know if the person was a student, Madison resident or from out of state.
Grounds Superintendent Gene Turk said a member of the UW Grounds Team found the body and called it in to the police. Turk declined to disclose the groundskeeper's identity.
