A man died of cold exposure in west suburban Schiller Park, becoming the first cold-related death of the season following a recent cold snap.

The man, whose identity wasn’t released, but was believed to be 60, was found unresponsive around 1 p.m. Thursday on the 4600 block of Wesley Terrace in Schiller Park, according to the Cook County medical examiner.

An autopsy performed Friday found that the man’s death was weather related and ruled it an accident. Schiller Park police weren’t immediately available to provide additional details.

The death came as a massive snowstorm was set upon the Chicago area. The last cold related death in Cook County occurred in March 2023, according to county records.
