A 58-year-old man was found dead Thursday morning in Grant Park with stab wounds to the neck and back, after a woman called police when she saw him on the ground in the same spot for a third day in a row, according to police.
About 9 a.m. Thursday, Chicago police responded to a call of a man found unresponsive in the 1100 block of South Michigan Avenue, near the south end of Grant Park. The man was pronounced dead on the scene about 9:30 a.m., according to officials. Chicago police have since reclassified the death as a homicide.
Following an autopsy Friday, the Cook County medical examiner’s office determined the man, who identity was still not being released, died from multiple sharp force injuries in a homicide.
A woman told police she had seen the man in the same spot Tuesday and Wednesday, before deciding to call police Thursday morning.
No one was in custody Friday and detectives were investigating.
