An Iowa man who died Friday evening after he was pulled from Montrose Harbor in the Uptown neighborhood on the North Side drowned, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Ryan Klingensmith, 23, fell off a boat near the harbor at 601 N. Montrose Ave. just before 5:30 p.m., according to Chicago Police and the medical examiner’s office.

A lifeguard got him out of the water, and he was taken to Louis A. Weiss Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:06 p.m., authorities said.

Klingensmith lived in the 800 block of West Benton Street in Iowa City, Iowa, the medical examiner’s office said.

The results of an autopsy Saturday indicated that he drowned, and his death was ruled an accident, the medical examiner’s office said.
