Chicago police Sgt. Timothy Martin died in what authorities described as an apparent suicide, according to a report on AM 560.
The broadcast did not specify the date, location or circumstances of Martin’s death beyond characterizing it as an apparent suicide. No additional statement from the Chicago Police Department was included in the report.
The death comes as the Veterans Path to Hope nonprofit, a McHenry County organization focused on reducing veteran and military suicide, marked Veterans Day this week by renewing its call for expanded mental health support for veterans and first responders.
Anyone experiencing a mental health crisis can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which is free and available around the clock.
