McCulloch was taken out of the water on Sunday. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. His death is still under investigation.
A second man from 30 years was also taken out of the water about an hour later and was transferred to a hospital in critical condition.
The spokeswoman for the Madison Fire Department, Cynthia Schuster, said she remained in the hospital on Monday, but there is no more information about her condition.
There are no previous results.
