Indiana Conservation Officer Tyler Brock said the men had been fishing Sunday from a boat on a small, private lake near the intersection of U.S. 421 and Interstate 94, just south of Michigan City.
Authorities received a call Sunday afternoon about two people who had fallen in the water while fishing, and the men’s bodies were recovered a short time later, Brock said.
The boating deaths remain under investigation by state conservation officers and the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office.
