ST. JOSEPH — Police have identified 27-year-old St. Joseph resident Dakota Yergeau as the man who drowned last Sunday at Silver Beach. According to police, two men were on the beach’s south pier March 28 when a wave crashed into them just before 5:30 p.m. Steve Neubecker, Director of the St. Joseph County Public Safety Department, previously told The Tribune Yergeau was pulled into the lake, while the other person stayed on the pier and threw a floatation device into the water. “He threw it out to the individual, the individual was able to swim about 15 yards to the device and grabbed on. We were pulling him into the shore when he lost his grip and went under,” Neubecker said.
