The body of a 13-year-old boy who went into Lake Michigan waters at a northwest Indiana beach and didn’t resurface has been recovered, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
The recovery was confirmed to NBC Chicago Wednesday morning. It comes two days after officials say the boy went swimming at Washington Beach in Michigan City with a group of friends.
Officials from the Indiana Department of Resources said the boy, from Michigan City, was found about 7:45 a.m. Wednesday in 11 feet of water on the east side of the rocks.
According to the INDR, the boy was with a group of friends swimming in the water Monight night when he started to struggle. A friend tried to save him, but conditions were too tough, with waves of four to six feet.
Indiana Conservation Office Alex Neel said during a press conference Wednesday the boy was caught in a rip current.
“So when the waves kind of crash over, you get a pulling effect from the waves as they come out,” Neel said. “The area that he went missing along the Michigan City pier, there is a bend there. So in that area you get currents working in opposite directions. So one current pulling out towards the lake, another pulling kind of like a sideways toward the beach and down the beach. Unfortunately, he was just past that bend, so it pulled him out into the lake.”
According to the INDR, the incident was the first reported drowning in Indiana in Lake Michigan this season.
Searches for the boy were suspended Monday night and Tuesday due to “challenging water conditions” and high waves. All day Monday, Lake Michigan beaches in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan were under a high swim risk with a beach hazards statement from the National Weather Service in effect.
The statement warned of dangerous waves as high as five feet, and “life threatening currents.”
The incident unfolded about 5:43 p.m. Monday at Washington Park Beach, with Michigan City police responding to the beach for a possible drowning. Witnesses say they saw a child wearing red shorts enter the water on the east side of the catwalk just south of the lighthouse and then disappear beneath the surface.
Dangerous water conditions “significantly complicated search efforts,” Michigan City police said. About 10:44 p.m., police posted an update saying dive operations had been suspended “due to hazardous conditions that posed a risk to responder safety.”
According to the update, three of the four MCFD divers sustained minor injuries during the search and were transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation. A DNR diver was also injured, police said, and was evaluated on scene.
“Strong currents, changing wave action, and limited visibility beneath the water can quickly overwhelm even experienced swimmers and rescuers,” police said. “We urge everyone to pay close attention to beach conditions, heed all posted warnings, and stay out of the water when hazardous conditions are present.”
According to the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project, there have been 23 Great Lakes drownings to date in 2026. 12 of those, the site showed, have been in Lake Michigan.
