The unidentified victim, who the Chicago Tribune reports was a man between the ages of 45 and 50 years old, is believed to have died from suicide around 11:45 a.m.
The 98-story building overlooks the Chicago River. Its 16th floor hosts a bar and restaurant called Terrace 16. A 75-year-old homeless man was lit on fire last week while sleeping outside the property’s docking bay, according to ABC News. A hotel security guard reportedly came to the victim’s rescue with a fire extinguisher after he’d already been on fire for three minutes. The homeless man is not expected to survive his injuries.
