WEST ALLIS (AP) - The decomposed body found by a group of teenagers in West Allis has been identified by police. Authorities identified the body as 39-year-old Robert Kruczkowski, of Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office earlier said that an autopsy did not show any evidence of injury, but the cause of death is pending further analysis.
Authorities say the body was found in a wooded area on Dec. 7. Three youths came upon it and alerted an adult, who contacted police.
Police say the death remains under investigation.

RHINELANDER - Members of the Rhinelander community could be seen dressed as angels and wise men as they gathered around a makeshift stable Saturday. They were taking part in the annual live nativity event downtown.
Carols filled the air during the demonstration of Jesus' birth.
Chairman of the Zion Lutheran Church board of stewardship Jeff Koser says while many people celebrate Christmas, they might not know the biblical history behind the holiday. He says the Live Nativity is an interesting way to share that story.

RHINELANDER - Currently, people who want help need to dial a full 10-digit number.
A new proposal shortens that helpline number down to three numbers.
Mental health experts in Wisconsin voiced their opinion in support of the change.
Behavioral Health Administrator Donna Shimeck said it would make the hotline easier to use.
"The hope would be that this is going to be similar to the 911 number and reduce the stigma of reaching out for help when you're at your most vulnerable time," said Shimeck.
Shimeck said the change would streamline things for everyone
