Person in Water off Grand Haven


The Coast Guard responded to a 19-year-old male in the water at approximately 3:30 p.m. about five nautical miles off Grand Haven today.

A Coast Guard Station Grand Haven rescue boat, a Station Muskegon rescue boat and an Air Facility Muskegon HH65 rescue helicopter responded to the person in the water.

The 19-year-old male’s sister watched him swim out approximately 200 yards and lost sight of him. She then called 9-1-1.

The Coast Guard is working with the local Police Department in the continuing search effort.

Update: A teenager pulled from Lake Michigan near Muskegon Monday afternoon after being under the water for nearly two hours has died.
