From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Former U.S. Commerce Secretary and mayoral brother Bill Daley spotted a drowning man along the lakefront and summoned rescuers on his cell phone.
The man, who was swimming at an area called "the ledge'' north of Oak Street Beach on Thursday evening, did not survive.
Daley, 56, the youngest brother of Mayor Daley, declined comment though a spokesman.
"He called 911. He pointed out to where the guy had gone down,'' said Tom Kelly, spokesman for JP Morgan Chase & Co., where Daley is the Midwest chairman.
I'm quite familiar with that spot, "the ledge." It's a man-made cove and the currents can be quite unpredictable.
