Autopsy Planned For Unidentified Man Found In Lake Michigan

An autopsy is planned on the body of a middle aged man found in Lake Michigan south of Racine’s Mayer Park. Sheriff’s deputies say a passerby found what appeared to be a body around 2:10 Sunday afternoon. Racine County Medical Examiner Michael Payne say he and other officers don’t know who the victim is — they don’t know how he died — and it appeared he was not in the lake for more than several days. Sheriff’s office say the man is six feet one and 250 pounds, and they’re hoping the tattoos on his arms and chest will help identify him. Anyone with information about the victim is asked to call the Racine County sheriff’s department.
