HYDE PARK — Police received a call of a body floating in the lake near 57th Street Beach, police said Thursday.
At 2:38 p.m., someone called police saying they spotted the corpse in the water, according to Officer Veejay Zala, a Chicago Police spokesman.
CPD sent its Marine Unit to investigate, Zala said.
