CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― A man who was found dead Wednesday afternoon in his Uptown apartment died of blunt force trauma, according to an autopsy Thursday.

Abel Macedo, 23, was found dead in the 800 block of West Cuyler Avenue Wednesday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

He was pronounced dead at 6:43 p.m. Wednesday on the scene, the medical examiner's office said.
