Man Jumps To His Death Off A West Side Parking Deck

Joliet Police and the Will County Coroner’s Office are investigating after a man was found dead in a parking lot at Ascension St. Joseph Medical Center on the city’s West Side.

The call came in just after 5:30 Monday evening. That’s when Joliet Police found a body near the loading dock of the hospital. It was determined that the man, who has been identified as 48-year-old Louis Mau of Channahon, jumped to his death from the nearby parking deck.

At this time, this is being treated as an isolated incident, with police spokesman Sgt. Dwayne English calling it a “suicide with no suspicious circumstances.”

Final cause and manner of this incident will be released by the Will County Coroner at a later date.
