A body is being recovered from the waters of Lake Michigan on the Near North Side Friday afternoon.
Police Marine Unit personnel responded after someone saw a body floating near Olive Park Beach off Ohio Street, according to a Marine Unit spokesman.
“Police are making the recovery,” Fire Media Affairs spokesman Kevin MacGregor said at 4 pm
A 51-year-old Berkeley man went missing in the lake not far from there last Saturday.
Police said the man was with family members when he went into the water near Oak Street Beach and was overcome by high waves. Companions tried to rescue him but couldn’t pull him in, police said.
Divers searched the lake Sunday morning, but poor underwater visibility forced them to suspend the work.
