This story should remind sleepwalkers to lock their
doors.The cold claimed a victim in Sawyer County, where a 51-year-old sleepwalker died from exposure after wandering from his rural Hayward home early Tuesday.
Timothy Brueggeman was found about 190 yards from his house, said Tim Zeigle, chief deputy of the Sawyer County Sheriff's Department. His son, who reported him missing late Tuesday morning, said the man was prone to sleepwalking.
Deputies followed tracks of his bare feet in the snow to find him.
Wow.
