UPDATE:
According to a social media post from the Town of Chesterton, Ind. — which assisted in the search — the Porter County Coroner identified the teen as 17-year-old Max Moras Loeza from Eagan, Minn.
The body of an Eagan teen who went missing on Lake Michigan on Tuesday afternoon has been recovered, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
The 17-year-old’s identity has not yet been released.
Porter County authorities were called to a portion of the lake near the intersection of County Road 300 East and West Lake Front Drive in Beverly Shores around 2:10 p.m. on Tuesday on a report of swimmers in distress. There, they found two swimmers and a Good Samaritan who needed medical attention.
The three were brought to the hospital and are in stable condition.
However, the Eagan teen was unaccounted for and rescue crews weren’t able to search in the water due to high waves.
