PORT WASHINGTON -
Authorities say a diver from Illinois died in deep
water in the Wisconsin waters of Lake Michigan.
The Ozaukee County
Sheriff's Department says 48-year-old Phil. J.
Patz, of Stone Park, Ill., was diving in about 300
feet of water on Thursday afternoon when he failed
to surface. His body was later recovered, and he
was pronounced dead about four hours later.
It happened about
nine miles southeast of the Port Washington
harbor. Port Washington is about 20 miles north of
Milwaukee.
The sheriff's
department says no further information on the case
of death or any investigative findings will be
released before Monday.
