In a tragic incident, the body of a man was pulled from Lake Michigan on Thursday morning, as confirmed by the Chicago Police. The Chicago Fire Department swiftly responded to a distress call reporting a body in the lake around 11 a.m. The discovery took place near Hollywood Beach, specifically in the vicinity of Sheridan Road and Ardmore Avenue.

According to the Chicago Police Department, the body belonged to a man aged between 30 and 40 years old. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death will be handled by the Chicago police.

This distressing incident follows another water-related incident that occurred the previous night at Montrose Beach. A 6-year-old boy was rescued from Lake Michigan and is currently in critical condition. It is unclear if there is any connection between these two incidents at this time.

Authorities are working diligently to gather all available information and determine the cause of these unfortunate incidents. The safety and well-being of individuals enjoying the city's beaches remain a paramount concern for both the Chicago Fire Department and the Chicago Police Department.

The recovery of the man's body serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by Lake Michigan's powerful waters. As the summer season continues, it is crucial for everyone to exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines when visiting the lake.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased man during this difficult time.
