The man found dead in Lake Michigan off Grant Park on Monday was a downstate Circuit Court Clerk employee in town for a convention.
The man was identified as Matthew Dennison, 40, of 1509 Stevens in Springfield, according to a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. Dennison was pronounced dead on the scene.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Dennison was a Sangamon County Circuit Court Clerk employee.
A morning jogger called 911 about 6:20 a.m. when he noticed the man's body floating in the water just off shore at 700 S. Lake Shore Dr., according to Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis.
He stayed on the scene until fire crews arrived and pulled the man out. The victim was dead but was clothed and had identification on him, according to Curtis.
An autopsy Tuesday was inconclusive, pending the result of a police investigation, according to the medical examiner's office.
