Police say they do not suspect foul play in the death of a 54-year-old woman found in a bathtub at an Antioch hotel late Saturday night. The investigation is ongoing pending autopsy results.
Antioch police responded to Antioch Hotel and Suites, at 350 West Highway 173, around 9:45 p.m. Saturday for a well-being check, according to WGN-TV. Officers found the woman dead in the bathtub.
What Investigators Have Reported
Investigators reviewed hotel surveillance footage showing the woman checked in alone and had no visitors, WGN-TV reported. Police have not said that this footage explains their assessment that foul play is not suspected.
The investigation is ongoing as police await autopsy results, according to the report.
How Cause and Manner Are Determined
The Lake County Coroner’s Office says it uses internal case conferences to determine manner of death in cases of unnatural deaths. That determination is distinct from police saying foul play is not suspected. In this case, autopsy results remain pending. See the Lake County Coroner’s Office for information about its process.
What Happens Next
Police have not released the woman's identity, and no further details about what led up to the discovery have been made public. Hoodline will continue to follow this story as additional information becomes available.
