Body pulled from Lake Michigan may be missing student

Authorities in Chicago and Northwestern University are trying to determine if a body pulled from Lake Michigan off the city's North Side may have been that of a missing Northwestern student.

Someone walking near Montrose Harbor spotted the body Sunday morning and called authorities, who removed it from the lake.

The body remained unidentified late Sunday.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's office, which planned an autopsy on the body Monday, said it was that of an unidentified white man apparently in his 20s.

Twenty-year-old Northwestern freshman Trevor Boehm of Monument, Colo., was last seen alive Nov. 5. A passer-by found Boehm's jacket and some of his personal belongings Nov. 9 on rocks along the Lake Michigan shoreline in north suburban Evanston.
