Overview
- Passengers saw an older man unresponsive on a Blue Line train in the Loop early Saturday, and first responders pronounced him dead at the scene.
- Police said the man was found around 1 a.m. inside a train car near the 300 block of South Dearborn Street by the Jackson station.
- Area Three detectives opened a death investigation, and officials have not released the man's name or a cause of death.
- The Chicago Transit Authority reported significant Blue Line delays during the response and told riders to use the O'Hare-bound side at LaSalle, Monroe, Washington, Clark/Lake, and Grand.
- The Blue Line links downtown to O'Hare Airport, so disruptions in the Loop can ripple across early morning commutes.
