Eric VanSyoc and Jessica VanSyoc Obituary: Kaukauna couple dead after welfare check/taser incident on West 13th Street.

According to the Kaukauna Police department in a media release on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at approximately 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 14, 2023, officers of the Kaukauna Police Department and Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department responded to an address in the 100 block of West 13th Street for a welfare check.

According to police, when officers arrived, they made entry into the house and located a 45-year-old deceased female who had substantial traumatic injuries and no signs of life. The female was later identified as Jessica VanSyoc who resides at the residence. While officers attempted to secure the scene, they located Jessica’s husband, Eric VanSyoc, in the same room as Jessica.

Eric was exhibiting uncooperative and erratic behavior. While attempting to detain Eric, a Kaukauna Police Officer and an Outagamie County Sheriff’s Deputy both deployed their Tasers, police said. Once detained, Eric experienced a medical episode prompting officers and Kaukauna paramedics to render on-scene care. He was then transported to the hospital where he was later pronounced deceased at a local hospital.

Due to the in-custody circumstances of Eric VanSyoc’s death, the Appleton Police Department is leading the use of force investigation, and both officers have been placed on administrative leave, per agency policy, Kaukauna Police said in the media release.

According to police, no other information can be released. No concerns for neighborhood safety exist at this time.
