PORTER COUNTY, Ind. -- A 7-year-old Chicago boy drowned in Lake Michigan near Ogden Dunes Thursday.
Investigators say he was playing along the shoreline in waist-deep water and apparently got swept into the lake.
He was pulled from the lake Thursday evening and rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.
The DNR says a beach hazard statement from the National Weather Service was in effect at the time of the incident.
The little boy's name has not been released.
