The body of the contractor who has been missing in a Downers Grove storm drain since severe storms trapped him and another crew member in the sewer on Monday was recovered during a search the following day, officials said.
WATCH HERE WATCH HEREThe missing contractor, who has not been identified publicly, was recovered around 5 p.m. on Tuesday from the storm sewer near Washington Street and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man's cause and manner of death will be determined by the DuPage County Coroner’s Office, authorities said.
Rescue operations transitioned to a recovery operation as of Monday evening, authorities said, as water conditions within the sewer made additional search efforts "extremely dangerous."
Footage captured during the search on Monday appeared to show multiple people being pulled from the storm drain near Washington Curtiss, though it was not clear if those were rescuers or the missing contractors.
