Coast Guard warns of heavy surf along Lake Michigan Monday

The Coast Guard is warning boaters and beachgoers of heavy surf Monday along the western shore of Lake Michigan.

The general public is urged to “think safety first and foremost,” use common sense and heed warnings as high winds and rough waters are expected to continue through the evening, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement.

On Sunday, the National Weather Service cautioned swimmers to stay out of the water into Monday morning because of “life threatening waves and currents.”

Boaters are asked to avoid navigating, and anyone who does is advised to know emergency procedures and wear a life jacket, the Coast Guard said. Surfers and kite surfers are asked to stay out of the water.

People are urged to avoid beaches, rocks and jogging paths near the Lake as waves can quickly knock someone off balance and into the water, the Coast Guard said. Dog-walkers are advised to keep their pets on a leash, away from heavy surf and off of jogging paths, jetties and piers.

“Never underestimate the power of Lake Michigan and never engage in taking ‘selfies’ near the water,” the Coast Guard said. “Taking unnecessary and irresponsible risks not only puts your life in danger, but also puts others, including first responders, in danger.”

Sunday morning, a man drowned after jumping into Lake Michigan, and hours earlier the Chicago Triathlon was forced to cancel the swim portion of the race due to unfavorable swim conditions.

Later, crews found the body of a man who jumped into the Lincoln Park Lagoon on Saturday to save his dog.

A man died Sunday after jumping into Lake Michigan in Lincoln Park on the North Side.

The 26-year-old needed to be rescued after getting into the water with another man, 35, about 6:30 a.m. in the 2400 block North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago police said.

He was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to his injuries, police said.

An autopsy Monday found he died of drowning and his death was ruled an accident, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

The 35-year-old was not hurt, according to police.

The 26-year-old’s death came about 12 hours after another man, 29, went missing in the Lincoln Park Lagoon trying to rescue his dog that fell in. The Chicago Fire Department’s Scuba Team resumed their search for the man Sunday morning but have not yet recovered his body.

Hours before the 26-year-old jumped into Lake Michigan, the Chicago Triathlon canceled the swim portion of the event due to unfavorable swim conditions. A police source said the incident was unrelated.

Witnesses gave varying and inconsistent accounts of the events leading up to the shooting, police said.

Dontevon Gates, 17, was hit in the neck and back and rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

An autopsy Monday found he died of the gunshot wound to his back and ruled his death a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said.

A 20-year-old man was struck in the hand, and a 24-year-old woman was hit in the face, police said. An adult woman who was uncooperative with investigators was grazed in the arm. All three were stabilized at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
