BRILLION - A 32-year-old Menasha man is dead after falling and hitting his head Friday afternoon at the Ariens Nordic Center, according to the Brillon Police Department.

The Brillion Police Department was dispatched at 4:40 p.m. Friday to the Nordic Center following a medical call for a fall in which the person hit his head on a "hard surfaced area," the news release said.
