A man who was pulled from the waters of Lake Michigan in Belmont Harbor this evening has died, authorities said.
Passersby called 911 when they saw a man in the water in the 3500 block of West Belmont Harbor Drive, according to Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.
“At least three divers went in, and after about 20 minutes, they found him,’’ said Langford.
Paramedics performed CPR on him all the way to Saint Joseph Hospital, said Langford.
But the still-unidentified victim was pronounced dead there at 6:02 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
He was initially in “very critical’’ condition, according to Langford.
Amy Rabas was taking a walk with a friend along a pier and when they rounded a corner at the entrance to the marina, they spotted him.
“He was already in the water and he wasn’t wearing a shirt,’’ she said.
