Gresham, Wisconsin - On Friday, Marshall Daniel Svenson, 5, of Pulaski was reported decreased and the preliminary cause of death was accidental drowning. Svenson's death occurred around 8:23p.m. at Annie's Campground LLC's swimming water pond located at W125505 Roosevelt Rd. in Gresham located in Shawano County, according to the Shawano County Sheriff's Office. Svenson's body was pulled from the campground's pond by some teens and life saving attempts were unsuccessful by first responders and campers at the scene.

On Monday, the Annie's Campground LLC Facebook (FB) page posted, "This post is intended for Lovers of Freedom, who believe in God, who are helpful to others and who are supportive of the Truth.

Ann Marie Retzlaff, 52, aka, "Annie" of Gresham, the owner of Annie's Campground LLC, also a known Trump MAGA (Make Amerikkka Great Again/Keep Amerikkka Great) supporter received a backlash (more than 247 comments) on her campground's FB page alleging that she was using the boy's death to promote vacancies at the campground on Monday. FB users claim that Retzlaff was heartless, insensitive, atrocious and also called her a disgusting and terrible human being.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) reported on May 27th that the campground page had posted that "We reserve the right to refuse service: No commies, thieves, illegal substances, antifa, blm or other terrorists. Safety is our #1 goal," which drew controversy.
