UPDATE: Authorities recovered a body from the reservoir Wednesday night, according to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.
Authorities are searching for a man who went missing in a suburban reservoir Tuesday night.
Around 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, Wood Dale Fire Protection District officials responded to a report and video showing a person in the Wood Dale Itasca reservoir near the intersection of North Wood Dale Road and School Street, the district said.
Swimming in the reservoir is not allowed, authorities said. The reservoir is for storm water retention, holding overflow water from Salt Creek.
Photos and videos at the scene show a large emergency response for the search as of 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Divers and drones were deployed to assist with the search, officials said. Officials are now considering the search a recovery mission, not a rescue.
Witnesses described hearing a person in the water repeatedly yelling for other people to join him. Eventually, the yelling stopped, they said.
A “chaotic” scene unfolded as the search began, witnesses said.
There are “very powerful drains” in the reservoir, a neighbor said.
Further details surrounding the incident were not immediately known.
Search crews continued their efforts until around 10 p.m. Tuesday. The search will resume Wednesday morning, officials said.
