No Foul Play in Teen's Death on Trail

By Charles Benson

MUSKEGO - The body of 19-year-old Robert Linsky was found Thursday along a popular trail.

How he died remains a mystery, but police said Friday that foul play is not suspected. They are waiting for toxicology and autopsy results.

Yellow tape and bright lights surround the wooded area where Linsky's body was found on the Muskego Recreation Trail. The area is near the InPro Corporation on Apollo Drive.

"It was very alarming to me because I live right off the trail myself," said Andrea Overland.

Overland also works at an animal hospital not far from where police were searching.

"We sent our officers there and they found what appears to be younger male white subject lying in the bushes," Muskego Police Chief Paul Geiszler said Thursday.

The trail runs between a residential area and an industrial park. A walker made the discovery just before 6 p.m. Thursday.

"Very popular, especially during the day," said Overland, "Lots of people walking dogs."
 
It’s unclear how long the body had been there but police say it may have been a couple of days.

"We would encourage anyone with information to contact our police department," said Chief Geiszler
