A 20-year-old Hanover Park man was missing for three days before his body was found in Lake Michigan.
The body of Samuel Pe was identified on Aug. 23. The Cook County medical examiner's office determined his cause of death to be drowning.
Hanover Park police Lt. Tom Cortese said Pe had been reported missing Aug. 21. His mother, with whom he lived, told authorities she last saw him just after lunch the previous day.
Pe's body was recovered by authorities in Chicago near Adler Planetarium, Cortese said.
The body displayed no signs of foul play, he added.
When Pe was reported missing, there was no indication of his intended whereabouts or that he expected to be in Chicago, Cortese said.
