Man Drowns In Lake Michigan Offshore From Rogers Park
First responders did not locate the body until responding to a second distress call a few hours later.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Divers, police Marine Unit members, and a helicopter, were called around 7:30 a.m. to Tobey Prinz Beach Park, on the lake at the mouth of Pratt Boulevard, after a man in his 30s went underwater a few blocks north on the lake at Greenleaf Avenue and never resurfaced.
First responders did not locate the body until responding to a second distress call a few hours later. In that second call, two people were having trouble in the water, but made it to the pier and were able to get to shore safely.
