Man Apparently Kills Self While In Police Custody

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― A 30-year-old man apparently hanged himself while in the custody of Chicago Police early Wednesday on the South Side.

Timothy Parashar  was pronounced dead at 3:18 a.m. at Provident Hospital of Cook County after he was found hanged in a cell at 5101 S. Wentworth Ave., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, which said his death was an apparent suicide.

The Wentworth District Police station is located at the Wentworth address.

About 2:30 a.m., police transported Parashar from the Wentworth District lockup to the hospital, according to News Affairs Officer David Banks. He was found unconscious in the lockup.

He was in custody for aggravated battery to a police officer, News Affairs Officer Robert Perez said. He did not know why the man had been arrested.

Wentworth Area detectives are conducting a death investigation, pending results of an autopsy.
