A 25-year-old Kenosha, Wisconsin man died early Sunday after jumping into a water channel on the Chain O' Lakes, authorities said.
According to the Lake County Sheriff's Office, deputies from its marine unit were called to the"Long Channel" between Petite Lake and Spring Lake at about 1:05 a.m. for a report of a man who went underwater.
Deputies and members of the Lake Villa Fire Protection District searched the channel for several hours, including by drone. At approximately 6:30 a.m., the deceased man's body was recovered from the water, authorities said.

The man was able to swim to shore and a relative helped him remove his wet clothing and took him to bed, officials said. A short time later, the man left bed, jumped into the water again, this time without clothing, sheriff's police said. The man went underwater as he attempted to swim across the channel.The drowning remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff's Office Marine Unit.
