Police say the body of a man was located in a ditch near his parked motorcycle along the shoulder of Deep Lake Road in Antioch Wednesday morning.
The Antioch Police Department and Antioch Fire Department responded around 6:02 a.m. Wednesday to the area of Route 173 and Deep Lake Road.
A 911 caller reported a person lying in a ditch near the intersection and not moving.
Officers discovered a motorcycle parked alongside northbound Deep Lake Road just north of Route 173.
The motorcycle appeared to have suffered some sort of mechanical failure, police officials said.
The body of an adult male was discovered lying in the brush approximately 40 feet away from the motorcycle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police officials said an initial investigation by the Lake County Coroner’s Office did not find any outward signs of foul play.
A more detailed autopsy is scheduled for later Wednesday on the man, whose identity is being withheld pending notification to family.
Police detectives are continuing to investigate the incident.
Police officials said there is no indication warranting public concern for safety but did not share further details.
Anyone who was in the area and believes they may have additional information is asked to call the Antioch Police Department at 847-270-9111 or email [email protected].
