The body of 18-year-old swimmer Ebrahim Akhoon, who went missing on Tuesday, was found in Wilmette Harbor on Thursday. The search began after Akhoon was pulled under the water while swimming in Lake Michigan at Elder Beach in Winnetka. Despite efforts by emergency personnel, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the high waves made it too dangerous to launch a boat. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office has extended condolences to Akhoon’s family and friends. Andrew Smith reported
