CHAMPAIGN COUNTY – The death of a 52-year-old woman whose body was found in a Champaign County lake is under investigation, the sheriff’s office said Wednesday.

>> Body recovered from the Great Miami River near Moraine

Denise Fairchild of Woodstock, a village in northeastern Champaign County, was found Tuesday in Brush Lake, in the 8300 block of Brush Lake Road.

Her relatives called the county dispatch center Tuesday afternoon, concerned for her well-being, as they were unable to make contact with her. Officials checked Fairchild’s home but did not find her there.

Family members then sent officers to the lake, one of the possible locations they thought Fairchild frequented. Officers spotted her in the water and called Northeast Champaign County Fire and EMS, where rescue attempts were unsuccessful. Fairchild was pronounced dead at the scene.

The sheriff’s office said the county coroner’s office is also involved in the death investigation.
