A 53-year-old man was found dead inside a Boystown bathhouse on Saturday evening, police said. Detectives have launched a death investigation.
Officers were called to the scene after the man was found unresponsive and not breathing in a second-floor room at Steamworks Baths, 3246 North Halsted, around 6 p.m.
The man checked into the complex before 10 a.m. on Saturday, and a staff member discovered his body when he failed to depart by check-out time, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and there were no immediate signs of foul play, according to CPD.
Today’s death is the third at the long-running Boystown facility in a little more than two years.
