A man died after he was pulled from Lake Michigan Thursday afternoon in Streeterville near the Play Pen.

Just after 4 p.m., Chicago police marine unit personnel responded to the 800 block of North Lake Shore Drive for a person in the water and pulled 39-year-old Justin Kramarczyk from the lake, police and the Cook County medical examiner's office said.

Kramarczyk, of the Near South Side, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital initially in critical condition but was pronounced dead at 3:39 p.m., the medical examiner's office said.

Tucked in an enclave between Oak Street and Ohio Street beaches, the Playpen is a popular party spot for boaters on summer weekends in Chicago.

The location has experienced its share of high-profile rescues and drownings in recent years.

No further information was immediately available.
