A janitor found a 77-year-old man stabbed to death Friday afternoon in his west suburban Oak Park home.
Sergio Quiano was found dead in his apartment about 1 p.m. Friday in the 1000 block of North Boulevard, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office and a statement from Oak Park police.
The building’s janitor found the body after a friend of Quiano’s asked him to enter the apartment to perform a welfare check, police said.
An autopsy Saturday found that Quiano died of multiple sharp force injuries and his death was ruled a homicide, authorities said.
Police said there were no signs of forced entry to the apartment and “the incident appears to be isolated and poses no risk to the public at large.”
