Man dies after falling from 7th floor at Water Tower Place

A man fell to his death Wednesday inside Water Tower Place on the Magnificent Mile — the second person to fall to their death at the mall in the last two months.

He fell from the 7th floor about 5:10 p.m. at the mall, at 835 N. Michigan Ave., according to Chicago police.

The 25-year-old man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead, police said.

His death was ruled a suicide, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

In November 2019, a 65-year-old woman died at the shopping center after jumping from the seventh floor. Her death was also ruled a suicide.
