Scuba dive drowning victim identified as Illinois woman
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office has released the name of a woman who drowned during a scuba dive on Memorial Day.
Deborah Kujbida, 55, of Beach Park, Ill., was pulled from Wazee Lake after she was reported missing shortly after 1 p.m. Monday at Lake Wazee County Park in the Town of Brockway, authorities said Wednesday.
The sheriff's dive team and emergency responders from Black River Falls joined deputies in the search. After the initial call, dispatchers were contacted again and told another diver had found the missing woman in the water unresponsive and brought her back to shore, where CPR was started.
Several groups were using the lake and practicing deep-water dives. The divers had returned to shallower water when they realized Kujbida was missing.
