The death of a man whose body was found Tuesday afternoon at an apartment in the West Garfield Park neighborhood has been ruled a homicide.

The man, thought to be in his 40s, was found inside the apartment about 2:20 p.m. in the 4100 block of West Adams with a laceration to his neck, according to Chicago Police.

Investigators haven’t determined how he was wounded, police said. Area North detectives were investigating.

An autopsy Wednesday found he died of sharp and blunt force injuries and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

His identity, including his exact age, has not been released.
