Chicago Student’s Spring Break Ends in Tragedy After Wisconsin River Accident

Twenty-year-old Francesco Di Filippo, a college student from Chicago, was found dead on June 30, 2025 nearly three months after he disappeared during a boating accident on the Wisconsin

River. The search for Francesco began in early April after the boat he was riding in capsized near Kilbourn Dam while he was on spring break with his grandfather, Luis Di Filippo. Another

passenger survived the accident, and his grandfather’s body was recovered shortly after. But Francesco remained missing until now. The incident devastated the Di Filippo family and deeply

affected the local community, who had held onto hope during the long and emotional search. Francesco’s mother, Lina Di Filippo-Schultz, expressed the heartbreak of losing both her son and

father. She shared that family had always meant everything to Francesco. His father and girlfriend also spoke out about the emotional weight the uncertainty had placed on them.
