Chicago police said a body was found in Lake Michigan near the South Shore Cultural Center exactly one week after a man disappeared near a breakwall near Rainbow Beach.

A police spokesperson on Thursday said that the unidentified male found in the water near the 7000 block of South Shore Drive hadn’t been linked to the missing 33-year-old man who disappeared under the waves near the 3100 block of East 77th Street.
On Oct. 2, the police’s Marine unit responded to the water after a 30-year-old woman and a man began having trouble in the water. The woman was safely recovered from the water and taken to an area hospital, while a search for the missing man continued into dusk.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.
