(Michigan City, IN) - A missing Chicago man was found dead over the weekend in Michigan City.  Authorities said a fisherman found the body early Sunday in the harbor area of Trail Creek.

 

The 33 year old man was last seen October 13th at Shoreline Brewery & Restaurant, which is just to the south and west of where the body was located.

 

La Porte County Coroner Lynn Swanson said an autopsy will be performed to try and determine cause of death.  She said there were no obvious signs of trauma on the body.

 

“There were no visible injuries apparent to us at the time. Sometimes, in cases like this when a subject is in the water, it’s hard for us to identify everything.  The autopsy will tell us more,” she said.

 

Swanson said bloating that occurs to a body in water for an extended period can mask any stab or gunshot wounds only an autopsy can uncover.

 

Authorities said the victim was Jimmy Godoy, who was visiting family in Michigan City at the time he went missing. There’s evidence of a possible fight two days before he was last seen.
