The body of a woman who has been missing in Lake Michigan since a boat accident late last month was found Saturday night by Police Marine Unit officers in the water about five miles east of Navy Pier, according to a police source.
The woman, in her 20s, was one of four people aboard a 33-foot cabin cruiser that sank several miles off the coast of Chicago the night of May 31.
She was not wearing a life preserver.
A 29-year-old man who was found about 12 hours after the ship sank was the only survivor of the accident. Shortly after he was pulled from the water, the body of 26-year-old Chicago attorney Ashley Haws, who was also wearing a life preserver, was found floating in the lake. An autopsy attributed her death to hypothermia.
Police Marine Unit boats have been searching the lake daily for the woman’s body, as well as the body of the boat’s owner, Orest Sopka, a 30-year-old Chicago trader. He is the only person from the boat who remains missing.
