    Body pulled from suburban pond identified as missing teen


    The Lake County Coroner’s Office confirmed Wednesday that the body was that of Brissa Romero.

    “Preliminary autopsy results indicate that there were no significant injuries and that Brissa Romero’s death is consistent with drowning,” the coroner’s office said in a statement.

    The youngest of five siblings, Brissa graduated from Barrington High School last spring.

    Brissa’s family prayed at the Shrine of Our Lady Guadalupe on Tuesday night, a symbol that stands for miracles and strength.

    “We just spoke to the priest, and they were able to give us her blessing and was able to speak with us. Just calm our nerves down a little bit more, and if that is Brissa, then she’s in good hands with our Virgin Mary,” said Dulce.

    Her brother, Jesus, said he searched Chicagoland for his baby sister.

    “It’s just crazy how the community can come together during such a devastating story, and it just represents how strong everybody can be when they are all united,” said Dulce.
