A 64-year-old man died Tuesday after he was pulled from Lake Michigan in Rogers Park on the North Side.

Croslene Kettle was discovered unresponsive about 8:42 a.m. in the water at Tobey Prinz Beach in the 1000 block of West Pratt Boulevard, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. He had gone swimming, and witnesses pulled him from the lake.
