A twilight round of golf turned tragic Wednesday on the Evanston Country Club course in Skokie.
Attorney Larry Schad, of Kenilworth, Illinois died from “multiple crushing injuries” after he was found trapped under an electric golf cart, authorities said.
Skokie firefighters responded to a report of a “down golfer” about 4 p.m. after a fellow golfer spotted him trapped under a cart and called for help. Schad was taken to St. Francis Hospital and later died.
Skokie police are investigating Schad’s death, which was ruled an accident by the medical examiner’s office.
“Another golfer first saw a cart, but there wasn’t anyone around it. They came back a few minutes later and saw something under it . . . a person,” Skokie Sgt. Michael Krupnik said. “We’re investigating what happened. Right now we don't know.”
