Matti had reportedly been drinking when he disappeared.
His friends spent six hours looking for him before calling the Carroll County Sheriff's Department around 11:30 p.m.
A search of the shoreline was then conducted by members of the sheriff's department and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. On Monday, the search expanded to include divers, sonar, search dogs and a fixed-wing airplane from the Indiana State Police.
Matti's body was recovered Tuesday.
WLFI.com reported, "Matti's body was recovered Tuesday morning on Lake Freeman. DNR officers said they found Matti's body 20 yards from the dock of the home where he'd been staying with friends on Lake Freeman."
Carroll County Coroner Jay Cree later said the preliminary cause of death was respiratory arrest and asphyxia due to drowning. The manner of death is being called an accident. Toxicology results are still pending.
About Sean Matti
Head Coach Danny Hope told CBSSports.com, "Sean Matti was a coach's dream. He was a very special teammate and I really believe he represented what we're all about. He had an unbelievable amount of pride and he loved Purdue. We are sure going to miss him."
According to Rivals.com, "Matti, a former high school star from Shoreview, Minn., was on track to finish his Boilermaker career this fall as a fifth-year senior after initially walking on in 2007, though he had yet to see the field in his first four years."
On Sept. 3, Matti's fellow Boilermakers had a moment of silence in his honor prior to their season opening game against Middle Tennessee State. They also dedicated their season in his memory.
On July 6, 2011, a memorial service was held at Saint Thomas Aquinas Center in West Lafayette, Ind.

Police looking for missing man
Peel Regional Police officers are seeking the public's assistance in locating a man who was last seen in Mississauga three days ago.
Kevin Joseph Arendt, 38, was last seen leaving a bar near Dundas St. W and Confederation Pkwy Wednesday night at 10:30 p.m.
Police weren't able to verify what clothing he was wearing but did indicate that he was wearing grey and yellow New Balance running shoes.
He was last seen driving a navy blue Jeep Liberty with Wisconsin plates "324NNG".

Checked map.Bar near that intersection is called P K Creek. Patrick Kycia was wearing new balance shoes so I doubt the story about the shoes. This guy was driving Jeep Liberty. Liberty Corp Capital sued Kycia's fraternity.
