CHICAGO (AP) — A body found along Chicago’s Lake Michigan shoreline in early May has been identified as that of a college student who vanished last month around the time her boyfriend also went missing.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports the Cook County medical examiner’s office and Chicago police say the body recovered on May 2 was identified as that of 22-year-old Natally Brookson of Edgewater.

The cause and manner of the University of Illinois at Chicago student’s death remain pending. Brookson was reported missing on April 30.

The previous day, her boyfriend, 26-year-old Daniel Sotelo, was also reported missing. Both attended the University of Illinois at Chicago.
