SCHAUMBURG, IL — Police are conducting a death investigation after a man’s body was recovered Wednesday morning from a pond in Schaumburg.

At around 6:20 a.m. May 27, the Schaumburg Police Department received a call about a body in the pond in the 1800 block of Walden Office Square, police said. Schaumburg police and fire units located and recovered the body of a deceased adult male.

Detectives are currently investigating the death, and the body was transported to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office for examination, according to police.

Police said there were no obvious signs of trauma to the deceased.

The deceased has been tentatively identified, but his name is being withheld pending family notification, police said.

The update follows an earlier report that the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office had identified the deceased as a 52-year-old man. Authorities had not released his name as of Thursday evening.

It marks the third time a body has been found in a Northwest suburban pond in the last two months. On April 3, Patch reported workers were cleaning a pond at Algonquin Road and Parkside Drive in Schaumburg when a man's body was found there.

The following week in Elk Grove Village, police identified a man found dead and fully clothed in a retention pond as a 26-year-old resident who went missing in March. The body of Alexis Ramirez, who had not been seen since a single-car accident on March 10, was discovered by emergency personnel responding to a report regarding a body in the water in the 700 block of Innovation Drive.
