A woman found dead outside an Elk Grove Village hotel Wednesday morning died from multiple “sharp force” injuries, the Cook County medical examiner’s office reported Thursday.

The death was determined to be the result of a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said after completion of an autopsy.

Elk Grove police and fire department personnel discovered the woman at 4:18 a.m. Wednesday while responding to a report of an unresponsive person in the 2400 block of Landmeier Road.

The address listed on the medical examiner’s report is that of the InTown Suites Extended Stay Chicago hotel.
