According to the Chicago Tribune, “A man’s body found in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal on Monday belonged to a 23-year-old man who had been involved in a single car accident that killed another man over the weekend, officials said.”
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy which concluded that the man, Marcus Durdin died as a result of multiple injuries caused by an automobile accident. His body was found on the Southwest side on Monday morning around 11:30, according to police.
The hit and run accident occurred over the weekend when Durdin’s white Ford Taurus crashed into a bridge and flipped over, killing 33 year old Pipers Wells. The car was travelling at speeds of up to 100 mph before veering off the side of the road and crashing into the bridge. Witnesses told police at the time that they saw someone fleeing the scene, who is now believed to be Marcus Durdin.
