Members of the East Troy fire department prepare to head out on a boat to search for missing canoeists, Monday, Jan. 4, 2016, in East Troy, Wisconsin.

A Kansas University student and a former KU student were among four young men who died over the weekend in a canoeing accident in Wisconsin.

The body of Mori Weinstein, 21, was pulled from an icy lake Monday afternoon, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, which publicly identified him Tuesday morning in a news release.

The accident happened at Mill Lake in East Troy, Wis., according to Recreational Safety Warden Jason Roberts of the Department of Natural Resources, which is investigating the incident.

Authorities searched the lake after Weinstein and three friends were reported missing — their canoe overturned — Sunday morning, Roberts said.

Members of the East Troy fire department prepare to head out on a boat to search for missing canoeists, Monday, Jan. 4, 2016, in East Troy, Wisconsin.

Authorities recovered the first two bodies on Sunday, those of Lanny Patrick Sack, 20, and Christopher J. McQuillen, 21, according to the Department of Natural Resources. Crews were still searching for the body of a yet-unnamed fourth man Tuesday.

Weinstein was a junior at KU, university officials confirmed. Sack previously attended KU and was last enrolled in fall 2014, KU officials said.

East Troy is about 30 miles southwest of Milwaukee and about 90 miles north of Chicago.

All four victims were from the Illinois villages of Winnetka and Wilmette, in the Chicago area, according to the Chicago Tribune.

A group had gathered at the lake house for the weekend, and the four men headed outside about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, the Tribune reported. The rest of the group called for help the next morning after they realized the men never returned to the house and saw their three-seater canoe overturned in the water.

Authorities do not suspect foul play, Roberts told the Tribune. He said alcohol was consumed, no life jackets were found on or near the canoe, and the men were dressed in “hockey jerseys and casual clothes.”

“We are identifying this as nothing more than a tragic accident,” Roberts said.

Weinstein had many friends in the KU Jewish community, said Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, director of Chabad at KU.

Tiechtel, who said he’d known Weinstein since his freshman year, described him as “a happy, happy guy” and recalled, in particular, him dancing on the tables at the conclusion of the last Passover Seder dinner at Chabad.

“We all started dancing together with such joy,” Tiechtel said. “I never will forget that moment.”

Tiechtel shared the news of Weinstein’s death with fellow KU Jewish students via email.

“It is so hard for his dear family and many friends to go through such a big loss,” Tiechtel wrote. “There is no doubt to all of us that the soul of our dear Mori Weinstein will always remain to be there with us.”

Weinstein, a business major, was a great skateboarder, a great cook, laid-back, genuine and “really easy to talk to,” said friend and fellow KU student Brandon Goldberg, a junior from Chicago.

“Everyone loved Mori,” Goldberg said. “He’s the centerpiece of a room. And not that he was ever the kid to be getting all the attention in terms of being loud or anything, he just had a presence around him that made him him.”

Goldberg, who did not know the other victims, said Weinstein had gone to high school with them and that they were all home for winter break. KU classes resume Jan. 19.

“Going back to KU is going to be much different without him there,” Goldberg said.
