Overview
- Elgin police recovered a man's body after officers were called to the 200 block of North Grove Avenue early Friday.
- The Kane County Coroner's Office performed an autopsy and sent toxicology samples to a forensic laboratory, with the final cause of death awaiting those tests.
- Officials have not released the man's identity while they work with the coroner's office to notify next of kin.
- Elgin fire crews joined a large police response to process the scene and officials asked the public to avoid the area and use alternate routes.
- Media accounts conflict on whether the body was partially submerged or found on the riverbank, a detail investigators have not reconciled and that could shape how the case is handled.
