CHICAGO (CBS) -- A body was recovered from Lake Michigan near the "Playpen" on Saturday, three days after one person was rushed to the hospital and another went missing after they fell from a boat.

Chicago police said a male's body was recovered from the lake in the 1000 block of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive around 5:10 p.m. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
