An 8-year-old boy is dead after drowning in Michigan City Sunday night.
It happened around 7 p.m. at Washington Park, just east of the lighthouse on the lake.
LaPorte County Coroner John Sullivan said that Martin Perez of Fort Wayne was swimming with his family.
When his parents lost sight of him, they called police.
Divers found Perez's body, performed CPR, and brought him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
There was a rip current warning in place during the time of the drowning, but officials said they are not sure if rip currents played a part in this drowning.
