Photos and video from the early morning scene showed a large presence from the emergency personnel as crews worked to search for the missing individual underAccording to Lach, crews also recovered another body, a male, from the water, believed to be part of a separate incident,"because of the of the time of travel and where it was, and the decomposition of the body."
During the update, Lach said its not unusual during Chicago's warmer months, to have"two or three water responses," as people go out on Lake Michigan at all times of day. However, Lach stressed that those boating on Lake Michigan must be aware of"navigational hazards."
