A Chicago Park District worker found the bag during a routine clean-up and discovered the man’s head and other body parts inside, a source said.
People who use the park are stunned.
"I take them to the park here regularly, fishing, to the playground. And to hear this it's so scary. It's like my front yard," said neighbor Lisa Flores.
FOX 32 talked to an eyewitness who actually saw the first discovery. He says the severed head is that of an African-American man in his 20s, and it appears it had not been in the water long because there was no decomposition.
Police quickly cordoned off a large part of the park and used cadaver dogs and divers to look for the rest of the body.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson says they were able to locate more body parts.
"This is still an ongoing investigation. The head has been identified as an adult, probably African-American. And there are some more body parts that have been sent to the Medical Examiner's office," Johnson said. |
