The preliminary cause of death was revealed Wednesday for a 24-year-old Antioch man who was pulled from the Des Plaines River Tuesday afternoon.
Coroner's Office says Thomas "Tommy" Howe's cause of death was drowning, according to preliminary autopsy findings. A kayaker who was in the Des Plaines River last Friday saw a jacket along the shoreline that matched the description of the jacket Howe was last seen wearing, authorities said.
The divers were not able to resume their work until Tuesday afternoon due to unfavorable river conditions, authorities said.Howe had been missing since Saturday, Jan. 22. At approximately 11 a.m. that morning, he was driving from his Chicago apartment to his parents Antioch home, when he was involved in a crash along I-94 near Route 176.
The day of the crash, Howe’s parents used the location of their son's personal cellphone to find his car. "We have been with the Howe family throughout their search for Tommy," said Antioch Police Chief Geoffrey Guttschow. "This is a devastating time for them. The family will continue to be in our prayers."Family of missing Antioch man announce reward for information
