An off-duty Chicago police officer was found dead in her home Tuesday morning, making her the third officer who has died within a week and the second to die by apparent suicide.
The 35-year-old officer who worked in the Central District was found unresponsive inside a residence in the Grand Central District, police spokesman Tom Ahern said. She worked for CPD for five years. She appeared to have a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and a death investigation was underway.“Anytime we lose an officer it’s a stark reminder of the demands of the job and the sacrifices that are made by officers every day,” Ahern said.
Her death comes after a 45-year-old male officer was found unresponsive in a residence in the Jefferson Park District Monday morning, Ahern said. His cause of death is pending with the Cook County medical examiner’s officer.An inactive CPD officer was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in her home last week, a police spokesperson said. She had reportedly been inactive for over a decade before her death.
