A Chicago-area man who survived the 9/11 attacks in New York City died after he jumped from a boat into Lake Michigan to help at least one child who fell off a raft, his family and officials said.
The man, who was identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office as Luke Laidley, 43, was taken Tuesday afternoon to an Evanston hospital in serious condition. Fire officials said the Winnetka man later died.
An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday, said medical examiner's office spokesperson Natalia Derevyanny.
