Arlington Heights man's death ruled suicide

The death of an Arlington Heights man whose body was found Wednesday in a forest preserve near Barrington Hills has been ruled a suicide.

Tim Anderson was reported missing Monday after he left his Arlington Heights home about 4:30 a.m. but did not show up for work. His car was found Monday night near the Spring Creek Valley Forest Preserve.

Multiple police departments, helicopters and dogs searched the area for hours before finding Anderson's body in the preserve Wednesday morning.

The Cook County medical examiner on Thursday ruled his death a suicide by multiple sharp force injuries.

Anderson, 38, was a married father of two sons, ages 3 and 6.
