ST. JOSEPH, Mich. (AP) — Two Illinois men and a man from
Ohio drowned in Lake Michigan over the weekend as high waves swept
Michigan’s west coast.
The three victims were a pediatric surgeon
from Chicago, a 41-year-old man from Montgomery, Ill., and a 40-year-old
man from Cincinnati.
The Chicago Tribune reports Dr. Donald Liu
was with his wife for a getaway in Berrien County when he spotted two
children struggling in the water Sunday morning. Authorities say the
50-year-old helped the children but was pulled under.
Liu’s wife, Dr. Dana Suskind, tells the Chicago Sun-Times her husband "was an amazing man."
Police say the second victim drowned around 12:30 p.m. at Tiscornia Beach in St. Joseph.
According to WWTV-WWUP, the victim from Cincinnati drowned while swimming in Benzie County’s Lake
Township Sunday evening.
