A man believed to be in his 50’s was found dead overnight on a Brown Line train at the Belmont station, 945 West Belmont. Police believe the man died from natural causes.
An ambulance was called to the station around 1:55 a.m. after the unknown white male was found unresponsive on a southbound train. Detectives conducted a routine death investigation on the scene.
As of 7 a.m., the police department had classified the case as a non-criminal death.
Police on-scene said the man was not carrying identification and he appeared to be homeless. The medical examiner will conduct a further investigation.
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
