WILMINGTON, Illinois (AP) -- The body of a 23-year-old Marine was recovered from the Kankakee River Tuesday morning, two days after he disappeared while trying to save his 4-year-old nephew, authorities said.

Searchers found the body of Jafet Santoyo about 9:30 a.m. about 11/2 miles from the dam where he and several others went into the water to rescue Brian Santoyo of Chicago, said Wilmington Police Detective Todd Lyons. Brian was pulled from the water and resuscitated but his mother, Delia Santoyo, 27, and bystander Alberto Medina, 28, also drowned trying to save him.

The boy was listed in critical but stable condition at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago on Tuesday.

Jafet Santoyo, who had recently returned home to Chicago after serving in Iraq, was at with family and friends on a fishing outing when the boy fell in the water near a dam and apparently got caught in an undertow.

Jafet Santoyo presumably drowned, but an autopsy to determine the cause of death was planned, the Will County coroner's office said.
