CHICAGO — Chicago first responders on Wednesday pulled a male body from the waters of Ohio Street Beach on Lake Michigan days after a 58-year-old man went missing.
SkyCam9 flew above the scene in the 600 block of N. DuSable Lake Shore Dr. around 7:30 p.m. as emergency marine crews worked to recover the floating body.
Authorities have not identified the man, but the recovery comes days after the presumed June 15 drowning of a male boater in Chicago’s “Playpen” near Oak Steet Beach.
Witnesses say the man fell off a boat.
Following a weekend-long search, authorities were unable to recover his body and deemed the ensuing efforts a recovery operation.
WGN News has reached out to Chicago police for additional information.
This week alone, two drownings in Lake Michigan claimed the lives of a 16-year-old male at Montrose Beach and an adult woman after a boat capsized in Winnetka.
