CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities in Chicago are still looking for a man feared dead after a boating accident during a weekend in which two other men drowned.

Two men were on a 15-foot fishing boat that capsized on the Little Calumet River on Sunday. Rescuers recovered the body of 62-year-old Ronald Johnson of Chicago yesterday, and the search continues for the second man.

Also Sunday, officials say 52-year-old Michael Vergauwen of Downers Grove drowned in Monroe Harbor when he dropped his suitcase into the water and then fell in while trying to retrieve it.
