A 15-year-old boy died Monday night after going underwater and not resurfacing at Meyers Bay on the popular Chain O’ Lakes, the Fox Lake Fire Protection District said, with the scene drawing a large emergency response and a recovery mission lasting for nearly two hours.
The incident unfolded about 6 p.m., the fire protection district said, when a group of friends were out boating on Pistakee Lake. All members of the group jumped off the boat, fire officials said, but one failed to resurface.
Once the district was alerted of the incident, an “extensive, multi-agency search operation was initiated,” the district said, including multiple rescue boats, dive teams and shoreline search. Teams from several neighboring suburbs responded, including Fox Lake, Lake Villa, Round Lake, Antioch, McHenry and Grayslake.
Specialized water rescue resources from Barrington, Gurnee, Waukegan, Mundelein, Crystal Lake, Spring Grove and Richmond were also brought in, fire officials said.
About 7:50 p.m., rescue teams located and pulled the victim from the water. Fox Lake Fire Protection officials confirmed to NBC Chicago the victim was a 15-year-old boy. His identity has been been released.
