According to the Great Lakes Environmental Laboratory, as of September 2013, there have been 5,511 total drownings in the Great Lakes since 1900. Of those drownings, 2,137 have occurred in Lake Michigan.<\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer to this question as the bodies of those who have drowned in Lake Michigan are constantly being discovered and recovered. However, it is estimated that there are over 1,000 bodies that have not been recovered and remain submerged in the lake.<\/p>\n

How many deaths have there been in Lake Michigan? <\/h2>\n

The Playpen is a popular boating destination in Chicago, but it has also been the site of 38 drownings since 2000. Why are there so many accidents at this hotspot? <\/p>\n

One possible reason is that the Playpen is located in an area with strong currents. These currents can make it difficult for swimmers to stay afloat, and they can also sweep boats away from shore. <\/p>\n
