Body discovered in Monona Bay

A body found near the Brittingham Boathouse on Monona Bay Monday morning was identified by Dane County Acting Coroner Barry Irmen as a man reported missing from the night before, according to police.

Forty-year-old Mark Sobrilsky, who used a wheelchair, was reported missing by his roommate around midnight. Sobrilsky was found dead in the water at 7:25 a.m.

Police attempted to track him down early Monday morning by tracing the last use of his laptop's portable WiFi card to Frances Street. However, Sobrilsky's body was found by a passerby who spotted his abandoned wheelchair by the lake.
