Community members have identified a jogger and police are working to notify his family after he was found not breathing on a sidewalk in Algonquin and rushed to the hospital.

The Algonquin Police Department and Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District responded around 7:39 p.m. Saturday to the 100 block of South Oakleaf Road.

Paramedics received a call for a person who was found unconscious and not breathing in front of a residence.

The person appeared to have had a medical emergency on the sidewalk, according to Algonquin Deputy Police Chief Ryan Markham.

The man was transported to a local hospital but authorities had been unable to identify him.

Markham said on Monday the man was incapacitated and remained in the hospital.

The man, referred to as a “John Doe,” was jogging in the area before he was found, Markham said.
