Body found in channel near sculpture park in Chicago's north suburbs
SKOKIE, Ill. (CBS) -- A death investigation was under way Thursday after a body was found in the North Shore Channel alongside a park in north suburban Skokie.
The body was discovered Thursday morning in the North Shore Channel alongside the Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park, on the east side of McCormick Boulevard. The scene was near Greenleaf Street—halfway between Main and Dempster streets.
Police taped off a portion of the sculpture park near a parking lot and a port-a-potty shelter—just north of Curt Brill's bronze sculpture "Katia."
As of late Thursday, it was unknown if foul play was suspected in the person's death.
Illinois State Police are investigating. State police said the body found was that of a man, but he remained unidentified late Thursday.
