A 3-year-old boy remains in critical condition and police are speaking with his guardian after the child fell into Lake Michigan near Navy Pier Monday, authorities say.
In a press conference Monday evening, CPD Deputy Police Chief Gabriella Shemash said the boy fell into the water on the north end of the pier. The north end is typically used as a service road and for parking, but a walkway extends along the waterline.
“EMS responded and immediately pulled the child from the water and rendered aid,” Shemash said at a news conference Monday evening."As with any incident involving children these are difficult circumstances and we ask that you keep the family in your thoughts." Police were asked several questions at the press conference, but did not reveal any additional details about the circumstances leading up to the incident, including whether the boy fell from a boat or from the pier, or how long he may have been in the water.
