The family of a Japanese man who disappeared in January after coming to Madison to study English is expected to arrive soon to claim his body, which was found Monday in Lake Mendota.
“It must be an awful, horrible thing to have happen in any family at any time, and to have it happen 7,000 miles away is just hard to comprehend,” said Dan Perreth, co-director of the Wisconsin English as a Second Language Institute, where Kenji Ohmi, of Kyoto, had been studying only a short time before he vanished on Jan. 28.
