Body of Missing Lake Michigan Diver Recovered

The body of 72-year-old Patrick Kelly, a diver from Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, was recovered on Wednesday morning after he went missing on Tuesday while exploring the S.S. Wisconsin shipwreck in Lake Michigan. Kelly was diving about six miles off the coast of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, in waters over 120 feet deep when he failed to resurface. His wife, who was on their boat, sent a distress call at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. Multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, suspended their search due to rough waters and resumed the following morning, ultimately locating Kelly's body 125 feet underwater using sonar and remotely operated vehicles. The S.S. Wisconsin sank in 1929 during a gale, resulting in the deaths of nine crew members.
