Man Dies After Being Pulled From Lake Michigan at Montrose Harbor

Detectives are investigating the circumstances of the recovery to determine how the man entered the water.

Overview

  • Chicago police marine unit personnel pulled a man from the water at Montrose Harbor and he was later pronounced dead at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
  • The rescue took place in the 4500 block of North Simonds Drive at about 4:22 p.m., a time reported by local outlets on Friday.
  • Authorities say the man jumped into the lake and did not resurface before responders recovered him.
  • Officials have not publicly identified the victim; one outlet cited his age as 42 but that detail has not been independently confirmed.
  • Montrose Harbor is a public North Side waterfront where the CPD marine unit and nearby hospitals routinely handle water rescues, and investigators will review the incident to rule out foul play or other causes.
