Body Of Missing 21-Year-Old From Poland Pulled From Lake Michigan: Police

CHICAGO, IL — The body of a Polish man visiting the Chicago area for work was found early Wednesday in the waters of Lake Michigan, according to police.

Authorities responded about 2 a.m. to Oak Street Beach in the 1000 block of North Lake Shore Drive, where they recovered 21-year-old Krzysztof Szubert and brought him to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, police said, adding he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Szubert was last seen just before 10 p.m. Saturday at Howl at the Moon bar on Hubbard Street in River North, according to a post made by a friend of Szubert’s in the Missing Persons Chicago Facebook group, who said Szubert never came back to his hotel room.

Szubert was in America for a few months to work on a software development project in the southwest suburbs, according to FOX 32 Chicago, which reported he had planned to return to Poland later in December.

Detectives are working on the case, which has been classified as a death investigation, police said.
