LAKE MICHIGAN – Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating after the body of an 18-year-old man was pulled from Lake Michigan on Saturday.
At 2:55 p.m. central time, emergency personnel were dispatched to Miller Beach for a missing person presumed to be in Lake Michigan.
Multiple agencies with dive teams responded to the scene to search. Search efforts were hampered due to a north wind, with three to six-foot waves creating dangerous rip currents in the area.
At approximately 6:00 p.m. a beachgoer observed a body in the water approximately three-quarters of a mile from where the man was last seen.
A recovery was made, and the victim was pronounced dead on the scene.
The incident is still under investigation and the identity of the victim is being withheld for family notification.
