HARRISON TWP. (WWJ) -- Three people have been found dead after their boat overturned on Lake St. Clair.
The Macomb County Sheriff's Office said a report came in at around 10:45 p.m. Thursday about a capsized vessel near MacRay Harbor in Harrison Township.
A nearby resident called 911 after one person who was on the boat managed to swim to shore after it flipped. He said it happened at around 8 p.m.
MCSO Marine Division deputies, along with members of the MCSO Underwater Search and Rescue Team, responded to the area and began searching for the other people who were on the boat.
At around 5 p.m. Friday, officials said members of the Underwater Search and Rescue Team recovered three bodies from the submerged boat. They were pronounced deceased at the scene.
It's unclear what led up to the boat overturning, as the investigation continues.
The MCSO said, it "extends its deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones involved."
No names were released or other details about the people who died were released.
