CHICAGO — A man who cops found brutally beaten on the South Side in December died Tuesday night, authorities said.
Police said they found the 29-year-old man lying on the ground in the 7200 block of South Bennett Avenue in South Shore about 3:15 a.m. Dec. 22.
The man, identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office as Steven Cannon, suffered multiple injuries after several men attacked him, police said.
Witnesses told cops the attackers punched Cannon in his body and face, police said. One of the men clobbered Cannon over the head with a bottle, causing him to lose consciousness and fall to the ground. He was taken to Stroger Hospital.
Cannon, of the 5800 block of South King Drive in Washington Park, was pronounced dead at 10:35 p.m. at RML Specialty Hospital, a spokeswoman from the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said. His autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
No one was taken into custody for the beating, cops said.
