An Illinois man was found dead the morning after he asked a group of people gathered along Lake Michigan to keep the noise down, police said.
The group of people were gathered at the Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve along the shoreline after midnight on Saturday, September 17.
A 45-year-old man who lived in the preserve went outside around 1 a.m. to ask the individuals to be quieter. A "violent" fight then broke out between the man and two other people aged 18 and 20, FOX 32 reported.
