Authorities say an Arlington Heights woman's body was pulled from Lake Michigan near downtown Chicago about a month after a boating accident.
The Cook County medical examiner has identified the body pulled from the lake on June 28 as 27-year-old Megan Blenner.
The medical examiner says Blenner drowned after a May 31 boating accident that left one other person dead. Another man was pulled from the water alive and a fourth person remains missing.
Blenner, born in Hoffman Estates, graduated from St. Viator High School in 2004 from Carroll University in 2008 where she was an All-Academic and All-Conference sports player, according to her obituary. She also studied at Northwestern University to complete her CPA certification.
