Indian Man Living In Michigan Drowns In Lake St. Clair

HARRISON TWP (WWJ) -- The Macomb County Sheriff's Office is investigating the tragic drowning of a man in Lake St. Clair on Friday.

Police received a call at around 5:30 p.m. on Friday that a 34-year-old man from India -- who was living in Michigan on a work visa -- was missing near Lake St. Clair.

The caller said that while at a work function, the man went swimming behind a home on Lake St. Clair and a short time later coworkers were unable to find him.

Officials began to search the area and just after 6 p.m. dive teams discovered the man's body near the shore.

The man was immediately taken to McLaren Macomb Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The man's identity will not be released until his family in India is notified.
