A Chicago police sergeant died Tuesday after he was found unresponsive while on duty at a Northwest Side station, according to the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The sergeant was identified as Timothy Martin, 49. He was found around 1:14 p.m. at the Albany Park District station, 4650 N. Pulaski Road, and was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The medical examiner's office has not yet ruled on the cause and manner of Martin's death, leaving key questions unanswered as the department and the community mourn.
Outside the station Tuesday, a woman was seen tying blue ribbons on trees and posts â a small gesture of grief for a sergeant who spent his final moments at the district headquarters he served.
Martin's death is the latest loss for a department that has faced scrutiny over officer wellness and working conditions in recent years. The circumstances of his death remain under investigation, and officials have not released further details.
