Deceased Man Found Saturday Identified As Man Missing In Area

On Saturday, August 19, 2023 at approximately 1:04 p.m. the City of Fond du Lac Police Department and City of Fond du Lac Fire/Rescue responded to the 300 block of Willow Drive for a report of a deceased individual in a dense wooded area behind a residence.

Detectives and the Fond du Lac County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene.  The Fond du Lac County Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy on August 21, 2023 and it appears the manner of death was by suicide.  It is with sadness that we learned the identity of the deceased individual was Troy Zupke.

Fond du Lac Police recently issued a Missing Endangered Person Alert back on August 6, 2023 for Troy.  While Troy was missing, the department utilized our Drone Unit and the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team for area searches around Lakeside Park where Troy’s vehicle was located.  Fond du Lac police also collaborated with Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office Detectives in an effort to find Troy.

No further details or information are being released at this time.
