WAYLAND, Mich. — The Michigan State Police post in Wayland says it has identified the body found on the Lake Michigan shoreline Wednesday as 59-year-old Daniel Sprecksel of Racine, Wisconsin.

He had last been seen fishing on a pier in Racine on October 13th, and a Missing Person report was filed by Racine Police on October 17th. The body was found on the water’s edge north of South Haven, in Allegan County.

Police say their preliminary investigation “does not indicate any suspicion surrounding his death, which remains under investigation.”

The Michigan State Police Missing Persons Unit, the county Medical Examiner’s office and law-enforcement agencies around Lake Michigan assisted with the investigation.
