Man, missing from a boat, later found dead in Lake Michigan.
Chicago police and firefighters searched for him overnight and finally found him at the mouth of the Chicago River. The man was later identified as Christopher Smajlo, 29 years old. He fell of the boat Monday night near Navy Pier. A man on another boat saw how Chris came for a last gasp and disappeared under dark water. Lifeguards were there in 2 minutes, 5 boats and a police helicopter arrived shortly. Chris was a musician and performed under name "Chris Shmay", he was young talented man. Smajlo posted 20 videos on YouTube.
I think, that many young people do not realize the dangers of being on the boat. It is fun to be on the water in summer, but everyone needs to realize the risks.
