Service was suspended on the Brown Line early this morning after an unidentified body was discovered on the tracks near the Kedzie Avenue station on the Northwest Side.

At 6:34 a.m., the Chicago Transit Authority shut off the power between the Kimball and Western Ave. stations and operated a bus shuttle for passengers. Brown Line service between those stations resumed at approximately 8:00 a.m.

Police say they are investigating, but have not determined the cause of death. It does not appear the person was hit by a train, according to the police and the CTA. 

An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.
