The body of a 35-year-old man was pulled from Lake Michigan Saturday at Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton, Indiana.
About 5:50 p.m. July 27, a lifeguard at Indiana Dunes saw a man who seemed to be struggling in the water in the designated swim area, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said.
As a lifeguard approached the man, he slipped under the water and didn’t resurface, IDNR said. Several agencies assisted in the search, including the U.S. Coast Guard and the Portage Fire Department.

Indiana conservation officers and the Porter County coroner’s office are investigating the cause of death.
