WHITING — A body was pulled from Lake Michigan after someone discovered it near the shore of a northwest Indiana park, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
A visitor reported the body to police after noticing it in Lake Michigan, about 200 yards from the shore of Whiting Lakefront Park, according to a release from DNR.
First responders later pulled the body from the water northeast of the park near a BP water purification plant.
The Associated Press reports the victim was identified as Dexter Trendell Sain, 36. The coroner's office said Said drowned.
The Post-Tribune of Merrillville reports Sain and 36-year-old Curtis Herron vanished on the morning of July 27, after taking a new boat out onto the lake at the East Chicago Marina. The boat later experienced electrical issues. Herron, also of Chicago, remains missing.
