The man was in a canoe with another man and woman on Loon Lake when a cat, also in the canoe, jumped into the water, police said.
The man tried to save the cat but went under the water, according to authorities. His body was recovered shortly after midnight Monday.
I'm glad they specified that he went "under the water." Without that clarification I would have never been able to figure out what went wrong after he jumped into the water.

That
kind of makes it sound like there's a city named "Illinois Memorial Day weekend."
