by Michael Denucci Death, Obituary – After getting a complaint about a customer at a rural bar and grill in Polk County who was unresponsive, the authorities quickly arrived at the scene and began their investigation. Upon their arrival, they determined that the customer, a male who was 50 years old, had passed dead prior to their arrival. On the evening of January 11, 2023, around 10:25 p.m., a call was received at the Polk County Emergency communications center reporting a male who was unresponsive in the parking lot of the Blacksmith Shop Bar and Grill, which is located in the isolated area of Balsam Lake.
The caller stated that the male was found in the parking lot of the establishment. There was a simultaneous response from law enforcement officers, emergency medical technicians, and an ambulance when they arrived at the scene. According to statements made by Polk County Sheriff Brent Waak, who was the one who made the statements that were made public, a male victim was found, and CPR and other lifesaving procedures were attempted on him. It was determined at the site that the man had sadly departed away as a result of the injuries he sustained.
According to what was reported by the detectives, the investigation discovered that the victim had been involved in a prior incident in the parking lot that ended in a commotion. This information was obtained from the victim. The victim, Michael Denucci, was fifty years old, and Sheriff Waak was able to properly identify him as the person who had been killed. Turtle Lake, which is found in the state of Wisconsin, is where Denucci was born and raised.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office are both now conducting investigations related to this matter. These investigations are being carried out at this time. Milltown Fire Department and Northwestern Municipal EMS would like to take this time to show their gratitude to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for the support that they have offered.
