CHICAGO — A dead body was pulled from the water near Montrose Harbor early Thursday, hours after the second boating accident in a week in the party-friendly area of Lake Michigan known as the playpen, which left one person in critical condition and another missing.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether the man pulled from the water near the harbor at 12:22 a.m. was the same person who had been missing after two people fell from a boat in the playpen around 7 p.m. Wednesday night.
The body was located soon after emergency responders were called to the 200 block of West Montrose Drive for a report of a body in the water, according to Chicago police.
