The La Porte County coroner has identified the man as 47-year-old Joseph Clopton of Chicago.
He went missing in mid-December. Family members and friends searched his Chicago neighborhood for him.
Authorities say he was found near Fish Lake in Indiana outside a bait shop. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
