Authorities are working to notify the family of an elderly man found dead Monday morning in a retention pond in Downers Grove.
The man's body was found about 9:30 a.m. on the 200 block of Village Drive, Downers Grove Sgt. Robert McMahon said in a news release.
Police and firefighters responded to conduct rescue operations, but they determined the man had died.
The DuPage County coroner's office is scheduled to conduct an autopsy on Tuesday. Authorities said they have not publicly identified the man because they don't yet know his next of kin.
Police are asking anyone with information about the situation to call them at (630) 434-5600.
