A father and son from Will County are dead after they drowned at Indiana Dunes State Park over the weekend.
According to the Indiana DNR, Conservation Officers and National Park Rangers responded to a reported active water rescue on the lake near the town of Dune Acres just after 4:15pm/ct. Conservation Officers responded using off-road vehicles and a patrol boat to reach the remote area.
When the Conservation Officers arrived, two men had been removed from the water by a Good Samaritan. Conservation Officers and National Park Rangers boated the men to the Port of Indiana while performing CPR. The two men were taken to a local hospital where they were pronounced dead.
They have been identified as 65-year-old David Meneou, of Joliet, and 20-year-old Jameson Meneou, of Lockport.
Preliminary investigation reveals both were in the water when Jameson Meneou went into deep water and began to struggle. David Meneou attempted to rescue his son but also began to struggle in the deep water.
The incident remains under investigation.
