Body of missing man Hipilito Hernandez recovered from reservoir in Wood Dale, Illinois
The body of a man who went missing at a reservoir in northwest suburban Wood Dale has been recovered, officials said.
The DuPage County Forest Preserves said around 7:35 p.m., forest preserve police recovered the body of a man who went missing Tuesday night.
Family identified the missing man as 52-year-old Hipilito Polo Hernandez, a father of five and a tuba player. His sister told CBS News Chicago her brother was swimming with his girlfriend when he went underwater and did not resurface.
The DuPage County Coroner's Office has not yet formally identified the remains or determined cause of death.
A large police and fire department response was called to a pond across from the Wood Dale Public Library, at 520 N. Wood Dale Rd. and the reservoir eventually was drained Wednesday evening as part of the search.
Swimming is not allowed at the reservoir. A resident told CBS News Chicago he believes there is quicksand in the reservoir along with deep spots.
DuPage County police are continuing to investigate the incident.
