Anthony Morris, of Jackson, Tenn., was taken in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died at 7:20 a.m. Thursday, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

No one is in custody as Area South detectives investigate.

An autopsy to determine the cause and manner of his death is scheduled for Friday.
