Missing Boater's Body Recovered: Authorities

MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — Emergency crews recovered a body believed to be the man who was thrown from a boat on Fox Lake Monday evening, according to authorities.

The body was recovered at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, said Christopher Covelli, deputy chief for the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

The identity of the person has not yet been released.

The recovery of the body comes after nearly a full day of searching for a missing boater on Fox Lake.

Emergency crews initially responded to Fox Lake at about 5:30 p.m. for a report of two men who went overboard after their boat took a turn at "too fast of a speed," Covelli told Patch. The incident happened near Captain's Quarters, 38283 N. Bolton Place in Antioch.

Neither of the men had life jackets on at the time, Covelli said. One of the men was rescued by a passing boat, and the other man went underwater and did not resurface, according to police.

The man who was rescued was taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries he sustained while trying to get back onto his boat, which was traveling in circles in the water, Covelli said.
