The coroner has released the identity and cause of death for a 30-year-old man who was found dead along the Des Plaines River in Libertyville after being reported missing, as his family says they will “desperately miss” him. He was reportedly last seen near Lake Minear Beach, 600 West Oak Spring Road, and heading towards the Des Plaines River Trail, which is east of Minear Lake. Equipment and personnel gathered at the Oak Spring Road Canoe Launch and in the parking lot of Lake Minear Beach as they searched both the Des Plaines River and Lake Minear. The searches along the Des Plaines River concluded at around 1 p.m., and crews transitioned to searching Lake Minear using side-scan sonar. Banek said the incident remains under investigation by the Lake County Forest Preserves Police and the Lake County Coroner’s Office.
