Robyn Bercovici (pictured left), 27, an alumnae of Boston University and Lolyla University , was found in Lake Michigan near Fullerton Avenue on the North Side in Chicago Saturday afternoon.
Bercovici had left her building last Wednesday night wearing a down coat, but never went back.
At 2:40 p.m. on January 19, officers were called to the 2400 block of North Lake Shore Drive of reports of an unresponsive female body in the water. Rescue workers later successfully recovered the woman's body from the icy lake.
An autopsy Sunday revealed the woman drowned is Robyn Bercovici, but it could not determine how she ended up in the water.
Robyn's death is officially "an unwitnessed drowning". Her funeral service has been arranged and will be provided by Blane Goodman Funeral Service. The obituary and funeral service arrangement below was posted on the website of Blane Goodman
