Detroit man, 27, dead after falling off dock into Lake St. Clair, police say
A 27-year-old man is dead after he fell off a dock into Lake St. Clair in Southeast Michigan early Sunday.
He has since been identified as Demari Dior Morgan, 27, of Detroit, the New Baltimore Police Department said.
Morgan was visiting friends and family who had rented an AirBnb property for the weekend on Lake St. Clair, police said. In the early morning, he went onto the dock and later fell into the water. Police officers and firefighters responded to the incident around 2:48 a.m. They initially weren't able to find the man.
Police said he was located on the lake bottom, under the dock he is believed to have fallen from, through search efforts that included the Harrison Township Fire Department, Macomb County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Coast Guard.
No signs of foul play are suspected at this time, pending the final autopsy report from the Macomb County Medical Examiner.
The incident is under investigation.
New Baltimore is around 41 miles northeast of Detroit.
