CHICAGO — Investigators were still working a crime scene Monday morning after a woman was found dead at the bottom of a luxury high-rise condo building in the South Loop. An internal Chicago police communication shared with CWBChicago stated that her foot had been severed and was found lying next to her.
Officers responded to the building in the 1200 block of South Prairie around 7:25 p.m. Sunday after a doorman reported that a resident had found a foot in a stairwell, according to dispatch records.
The woman was not immediately identified and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office had not released a name or age in connection with the case as of Monday morning. An autopsy is scheduled for later in the day. (Update October 31: The woman was 36, officials now say.)
In a short written statement, a CPD spokesperson provided the following information: “An unidentified adult female was found unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs at a residence at the above location. She was pronounced on scene. Detectives are conducting a death investigation, pending autopsy results.”
Online real estate listings show units available at the building start at just under $900,000.
