The coroner has released the identity of a Grayslake man who died after he was found stabbed multiple times in the street in Waukegan Sunday evening.
The Waukegan Police Department and Gurnee Fire Department responded around 9:55 p.m. Sunday to the 12700 block of West Harrison Avenue in Waukegan for a report of a stabbing.
Fire officials said an adult male subject was found in the street and had been stabbed.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek identified the subject on Tuesday as Adam Hoth, 42, of Grayslake.
Hoth was critically injured. He was unresponsive when officers arrived.
Officers began performing first aid and started CPR on Hoth until paramedics took over care, fire officials said.
Banek said an autopsy conducted on Hoth showed he had suffered multiple sharp force injuries.
The fire department transported Hoth to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.
He was pronounced dead in the emergency room around 11:20 p.m. Sunday.
The Gurnee Fire Department responded to the scene due to the home being located in their fire district but Hoth was located in the street in front of the house, which is in Waukegan’s jurisdiction and the Waukegan Police Department is leading the investigation.
The police department said it would release further details on the homicide on Tuesday. It is unknown whether anyone is in custody.
