No ID Yet on Body Pulled from Creek in Oak Forest
The body showed no signs of trauma or foul play, but police have not yet confirmed the man's identity.
Oak Forest Police do not yet have a positive identification on a body pulled from a creek last week.
While police believe they know the man’s identity based on an ID found on his person, they are holding off on making an official determination until they receive confirmation from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.
Foul play is not suspected in the man’s death. The condition of the body makes identification difficult, and X-rays are being used in the process.
