A 34-year-old man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Tuesday afternoon in the South Loop.

Officers responded about 12:55 p.m. to a report of a person shot in the 500 block of South Michigan Avenue and found the man with a gunshot wound to head, according to Chicago Police.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy Wednesday ruled his death a suicide.
