Management of Green Oaks, a senior apartment building in Park Forest, called police after resident James Gordon, 81, had not been seen for several days.
A man who drowned in a bathtub at a Green Oaks senior apartment building in Park Forest Jan. 10 was submerged a few days before being discovered, according to a police report.
On Tuesday, Brewer told the Daily Southtown it is an apartment building for seniors to live independently, which means it operates like a standard apartment complex. Brewer said like a landlord, she cannot enter an apartment without calling police for assistance.When officers entered the apartment and opened the door to the bathroom, they found Gordon in the bathtub partially submerged in water, according to the police report. The bathtub drain was closed and the faucet was trickling.
Officers were unable to contact Gordon’s family, according to the police report. His next of kin had not been notified by the Cook County medical examiner as of Tuesday, said spokeswoman Natalia Derevyanny.
