Body Found In Chicago River

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Police say they recovered a body in the south branch of the Chicago River.

The body was pulled from the water just a few blocks from where a boater disappeared Monday night. The victim has not been identified, but some believe it could be that of 28-year-old Alberto Lopez.

Lopez fell overboard on Memorial Day when his boat hit a wave.

Diver Juan Bucio of the Chicago Fire Department died trying to save him.

Bucio will be laid to rest on Monday.
