A former Oak Park police sergeant fatally shot himself just hours after federal agents searched his home.
Richard Downs, 58, was found dead about 2 p.m. Thursday at Miller Meadows Forest Preserve in Maywood, Cook County Forest Preserve police spokesman Steve Mayberry said Friday.
Downs died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Cook County medical examiner's office said after an autopsy Friday.
A spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency said agents served a search warrant Thursday morning at an Oak Park address where Downs reportedly lived.
"Because the warrant is sealed, there is no additional information I can provide," immigration and customs spokesman Tim Counts said.
Downs worked for the Oak Park police, beginning in December 1973, the department said. He became a sergeant in 1989 and retired in 1994.

And couldn't take the heat.
Not likely, he retired 15 years ago. Most likely, he imported something illegal from a foreign country and ICE was aware of it You can connect the dots
