Chicago man who vanished after concert found dead in river


The body of a 26-year-old man who was at a concert on June 12 has been recovered in the Chicago River on Saturday.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office found Noah Enos' body at around 9:45 a.m. Saturday, according to NBC 5. The examiner's office will start an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of Enos' death.

Enos was last seen leaving a concert for Australian rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Chicago Police published a missing person's flier for him on June 13.

Enos’ phone died around the time he went missing, according to the Independent. His girlfriend Nicole Wijs told the British outlet that Enos had been sending videos to her on snapchat of the performance until about an hour before his disappearance and she messaged him at 10pm.

“I was waiting up for Noah to come home after the concert. I waited up all night. I called hospitals,” Wijs told the Independent Thursday. “I was going crazy not hearing from him. So, I got up and drove to the venue. Obviously, I couldn’t go in because it was closed but I drove around and didn’t see anybody.”

Wijs said that her boyfriend attended the concert with his coworker. When she reached out to the coworker he told her that he briefly left Enos’ side and then couldn’t find him and later left the venue. She added that she and the venue’s security team could not find any belongings of his from that night. 

“He went to the concert. His phone died, and he vanished. There’s no sign of him anywhere else,” Wijs said.
