LINCOLNWOOD, Ill. — Officials say a member of Northwestern University’s crew team has been found dead after falling overboard while practicing in suburban Chicago.
Authorities recovered the body of 19-year-old Mohammed Ramzan on Monday from the North Shore Channel in Lincolnwood, the school says in a statement. The school says he was a freshman from Auburn, Wash.; an autopsy is planned.
Northwestern says the boat had nine people aboard.
Officials say a coach in a separate boat and a fellow team member went into the water in an unsuccessful rescue attempt. The Lincolnwood fire department says the coach and team member who tried to rescue Ramzan were taken to a hospital for evaluation after being in the cold water.
Crew is a club sport at the school.
