Ambulance

A person was found dead in their bed in a home in Woodstock Monday afternoon, police said.

Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb confirmed officers went about 2:20 p.m. to the home in the Bull Valley Golf Club subdivision in response to a request for a well-being check and found the person deceased.

Lieb said Tuesday there was no indication of foul play but that police are continuing to investigate. The chief said there is no threat to the community.

Lieb said the detectives initiated a death investigation and the scene was secured to prevent any form of scene contamination. A representative from the McHenry County Coroner’s office also arrived on scene to assist with the investigation, and the scene was cleared about 6:30 p.m., Lieb said.

McHenry County Chief Deputy Coroner Olivia Zednick confirmed Tuesday afternoon the body was being examined and a report was not yet available.

Police said the incident remains as an open investigation and no further information will be released.

“Citizens can be assured that the scene is secure, and there is no threat to the community,” Lieb said.
