A man is dead after being recovered from Lake Michigan at 31st Street Harbor in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood Monday afternoon.

Chicago police said around 1:55 p.m., their marine unit was called for reports of a person in the water. Video posted on the Citizen app showed a significant presence of first responders by the water.

CPD Marine Unit members could be seen descending long ladders that first responders had placed in the water on the far side of the breakwall, opposite to the docking area of the harbor.
