A man found dead early Wednesday in the The Loop died from an accidental fall.

Matthew Bigos, 26, was found about 12:45 a.m. on the ramp in the 300 block of East Lower Wacker Drive, according to Chicago Police.

Police initially said it appeared he fell or jumped from Upper Wacker Drive. He was taken to Northwestern Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy Wednesday found he died of multiple blunt force injuries caused by a fall from height and his death was ruled an accident, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
