The wider storm
A 26 year old man jumped into Lake Michigan near Promontory Point to go for a quick swim. The man struggled and then went underwater. He was found about 40 minutes later only 10 feet from the rocks. Rescuers speculated the waves may have pushed him into the rocks and knocked him unconscious. He was in cardiac arrest and was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Waves were around 5 feet.
