Centennial Beach closed in Naperville after man dies in water

A man is dead after being pulled from the water at Centennial Beach in Naperville, Illinois, on Thursday evening.

Naperville police said around 5:43 p.m., officers were called to the beach at 500 Jackson Ave. in Naperville.

Shortly after 6 p.m., lifeguards found the victim, a 27-year-old man, unconscious in the water. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. His identity has not been released.

Preliminary investigations indicated that the victim and a group of friends went into the water to swim to a floating dock in the middle of the deep end. After arriving at the dock, the friends noticed the victim was missing. 

The friends returned to shore and notified lifeguards, who activated missing person protocols.

Police said there was no foul play, and the investigation into the death remains ongoing by police and the DuPage County Coroner's Office.

Centennial Beach will be closed on Friday, the Naperville Park District said.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Naperville Police Department Investigations Division at 630-548-1421.
