Boating safety in Chicago: Officials say to be cautious of these common violations

With Memorial Day around the corner, Chicago officials are warning boaters on the river and Lake Michigan of several violations they will be looking out for this summer.

The body of a man was found in Lake Michigan off Wilmette on Sunday.

The body was found by a boater about a mile offshore.

Wilmette firefighters worked with the Coast Guard to bring the body in.

Police said the man's body appeared to have been in the water for at least a couple weeks. He had black hair and was about 6 feet tall.

Wilmette does not have any missing person cases right now and is working with the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office to identify him.
