The body of a 63-year-old man, Norman Walton, was found in the Chicago River near the Salt Shed music venue on Thursday evening. Chicago police received a report of a body in the river at around 7 p.m. Walton’s girlfriend, Lawanda Fields, said he went to work on Tuesday morning and never returned home. They had been in a relationship for the past 10 years.

Fields expressed her concern about the circumstances surrounding Walton’s death, as his truck is also missing. She filed a missing person report after he did not come back from work on Tuesday. Walton had been working as an engineer at an apartment building near Old Town for the past 15 years.

Friends and family of Walton are eager to find answers and understand what happened to him. Fields described him as a wonderful person who always helped others, even when he didn’t feel well. Walton leaves behind four children and three grandchildren.

The police are still investigating the case, and Fields hopes that the missing truck, a 2019 silver GMC Sierra pickup, could provide some leads. In the meantime, she and the rest of Walton’s loved ones are left mourning the loss of a kind-hearted individual who did not deserve such a tragic fate.
