8/1/13 - Search crews on Wednesday recovered what is believed to be the body of a missing fisherman from Whitmore Lake. Dive teams have been searching Whitmore Lake since a 46-year-old Green Oak Township man failed to return from fishing and was reported missing by family members. Deputy Green Oak Fire Chief Kevin Gentry tells WHMI that shortly after 11:30 Wednesday morning, a caller from East Shore Drive reported seeing a body on the water. He says public safety boats had been performing searches throughout the day and quickly responded to find the body of a person tentatively identified as the missing Green Oak man. The body was recovered from the water with assistance from the Livingston County Dive Team and transported by the medical examiner to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing for an autopsy. Gentry says the final identification and release of the subjectâs name is pending information and confirmation by the medical examiner and will likely be done today by Green Oak Township Police. (JM)
