Indiana search teams recover body of missing 18-year-old in Lake Michigan

The body of a man was recovered by search teams in Lake Michigan off the shores of Indiana. Police are waiting to disclose the man's name pending notification of his family.

Search teams have recovered the body of an 18-year-old man who went missing Saturday in Lake Michigan off Indiana shore.

Emergency responders were sent to Miller Beach in Gary on Saturday afternoon, and dive teams from multiple agencies joined in the search for a missing man presumed to be in the lake, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said in a statement on Sunday.

Strong rip currents and waves up to six feet in height made the area dangerous for divers and slowed their efforts, the department said. Around 6 p.m., roughly three hours after responders began their search, a beachgoer spotted the man's body three-quarters of a mile from where he was last seen. Searchers recovered the body and pronounced the man dead.
