SHAMROCK, Wis. – A 13-year-old boy died in an accident on the family in the Pine Hill area south of Black River Falls. Jackson County Sheriff Duane Waldera confirmed the death but declined to release the victim’s name. He said the boy was “submerged by crops” but didn’t explain. Nor did the sheriff explain his reticence to release basic information about what happened. It is Waldera’ habit is to withhold information to which the public has legal access and eventually will come out anyway. Other sources said the boy was Brock Alvin Bucholz, an eighth-grader at Black River Falls Middle School. An ambulance took the boy to the Black River hospital, where he died. A family friend said Bubsy, as he was called, enjoyed farm work and was good at driving a tractor.
