HALES CORNERS (AP) -- A Wednesday funeral is planned for a 28-year-old Thomas Hecht, found dead in the Milwaukee River.

Hecht went missing March 10 after a bar crawl with friends. He was pulled from the Milwaukee River last Thursday, not far from Water Street in downtown Milwaukee where he was last seen.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office has classified his death as an accidental drowning.

There will be a memorial service at a Hales Corners funeral home Wednesday afternoon, followed by a funeral.
