TAYLOR COUNTY - Taylor County calls in outside help to look into the hanging death of an inmate.
The Talor County sheriff's department says 21 year old Jesse Holz of Edgerton was found hanging from a sheet at 6:45 Friday night.
He was cut down immediately but was non-responsive.
Efforts were made to save Holz, but he was pronounced dead at Memorial Health Center in Medford 45 minutes later.
He had been in the Taylor county jail for about a week on misdemeanor charges.
Foul play is not suspected, but the Rusk County Sheriff's office has been asked to work with the Taylor County Medical Examiner's office in reviewing the death.
Taylor County says three other suicide attempts at the jail this year were prevented.
MINOCQUA - These plants may look pretty but they're taking over our rivers and lakes. Michele Sadauskas is Oneida County's Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator. She is working to map and control the yellow iris, the plant you see here. She and two other conservation workers spent the day weeding Stacks Bay.
"They invade our wetlands. They're a really robust, aggressive plant. What they do is they crowd out our native species and make actually the wetland a lot less diverse," says Michele Sadauskas, Oneida County AIS Coordinator.
Removing yellow iris is a slow process. It takes three hours of work just to properly map and control 20 feet of shoreline.
