Swimmer dies after being pulled from water at Montrose Beach

A 16-year-old boy was pulled from Lake Michigan at Montrose Beach and later pronounced dead Monday morning.

CHICAGO - A 16-year-old boy died after being rescued from Lake Michigan near Montrose Beach Monday morning.

Chicago police said the victim and a 16-year-old girl went out on the water with a raft around 9 a.m.

The raft flipped over. The girl was pulled to shore by a bystander while the boy was lost underwater. Divers went in to get the victim after he was spotted by a CFD helicopter. 

First responders give the victim CPR on the way to Weiss Hospital. He was initially listed in critical condition, but was later pronounced dead. 

Chicago police issue water safety warning after teen dies in Lake Michigan

A 16-year-old boy died after being rescued from Lake Michigan near Montrose Beach Monday morning.

The boy's death came just after two other water-related incidents. A woman went missing after her boat capsized between Evanston and Winnetka Sunday night. She was recovered Monday morning. 

A boater went missing after falling into the lake at Chicago's ‘Playpen’ Saturday afternoon. He had not yet been found. 

Chicago fire officials said everyone should wear flotation gear when on a jet ski or any boat in the water, even if it's close to shore.
