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.
