VALPARAISO, Ind. -- The body of Keegan Whaling was discovered in the north end of Long Lake Sunday afternoon.

Indiana Conservation Officers were contacted by Crossman Consulting shortly after noon to report the finding of Whaling's body.

Officials say the young man was found in 8 feet of water approximately 60 yards off shore.

Authorities have been looking for Whaling in the lake since he was first reported missing around 7:00 a.m. on Sunday October 29th.
