Des Plaines man dies after suffering medical emergency on interstate off ramp

A 53-year-old Des Plaines man died early Sunday morning after suffering a medical emergency on an interstate off ramp in Chicago.

Illinois State Police said Charles Joseph Berry and another occupant were in a vehicle exiting Interstate 90 at Cumberland Avenue in Chicago when the vehicle ran out of gas at about 6:45 a.m.

The pair began walking along the off ramp when Berry suffered some type of medical emergency and was ultimately transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy was conducted Monday by the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Berry’s cause of death is pending toxicology results.
