North Aurora police have identified the man who fell in the Fox River Sunday afternoon and subsequently died.
He is Edward A. Poe, 39, of Aurora.
Poe was walking with a woman along the river when police believe he suffered "an unknown medical event" and fell in the river.
He was found facedown about 25 yards off the east bank, a quarter-mile north of a dam.
An officer swam to get him and pulled him out with help from other North Aurora officers and a state trooper.
Poe was taken to Presence Mercy Medical Center.
An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
