Off-duty CFD captain dies in apparent drowning in Jackson Park Harbor

Extremely sad news. An off-duty captain of the Chicago Fire Department died early Monday in an apparent drowning. Fire crews responded to a call of a person in the water around midnight at Jackson Park Harbor, located at 6500 S. Richards. Divers searched the water for 90 minutes. The man's body was recovered around 5 a.m. and the Chicago Fire Department identified him as 55-year-old Captain Darryl Moore. Captain Moore was apparently attending an end of summer party at the harbor with several boaters. It is believed he fell off a dock and into the water. Prayers to the family.
