Officials said that the body of a 21-year-old Polish man who went missing over the weekend after leaving a Christmas party in River North was found in Lake Michigan at Oak Street Beach early Wednesday morning.
About 1:55 a.m., CPD and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said that Krzysztof Szubert was pulled from the lake after being found unresponsive. He was declared dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital a short time later.
Sector 3 has been asked to send investigators. When Szubert disappeared over the weekend, he was working in the Chicago area. He was last seen in River North on Saturday night at Howl at the Moon, a bar at 26 W. Hubbard St.
On Tuesday, his coworkers put up posters in front of the bar. Szubert worked for Knapp Incorporated as an IT specialist. He had been working on a project in Joliet, Illinois, since the beginning of November.
He had been staying there, in a motel, for a while. On Saturday, he and a few dozen coworkers took a party bus into downtown Chicago for their company Christmas party.
They ended up going to howl at the moon. A coworker said he left the bar around 9:30 p.m. and hadn’t been seen since.
