• Chicago Fire Department divers pulled the 63-year-old Plainfield resident from Lake Michigan about 15 minutes later, and he was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
• The medical examiner determined the cause of death was drowning and classified the manner as homicide, a forensic finding that another person caused the death.

• This is only the third Lake Michigan drowning ruled a homicide since 2015, with the two prior cases resulting in charges that remain pending in court.
