Just after 7 p.m. Monday, the Medical Examiner confirmed the swimmer pulled from the water had died.

One witness told WGN-TV said the victim appeared to jump off the wall and was trying to swim to shore when he went under.

Officials said water temperatures were quite cold Monday, which can create dangerous conditions for swimmers.
