A man who was found dead at a hotel Saturday morning in the South Loop likely overdosed, according to Chicago Police.

The 21-year-old man was found unresponsive at the Congress Plaza Hotel in the 500 block of South Michigan Avenue at 10:28 a.m. after family could not reach him and contacted hotel security to check on him, police said.
