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.

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.
