A 41-year-old Sheboygan man drowned Wednesday afternoon after getting stuck in a storm sewer while attempting to retrieve a dropped cell phone, police said.
Brett R. Gunn, who weighed more than 300 pounds, was wedged with his head and shoulders underwater in a vertical storm drain in front of his home in the 3200 block of North 12th Street, said Lt. Tim Eirich of the Sheboygan Police Department. There was about 12 inches of water at the bottom of the sewer, police said.
