A man was found dead Monday at the Chicago Red Line station on the Near North Side.

Chicago fire officials said the man was found dead in a “vent shaft” at the Chicago station, 800 N. State St.

The man is believed to be in his 30s, and he was found in a restricted area, Chicago police said. There were no visible signs of trauma to his body.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details on the death.

CTA service was disrupted for nearly two hours Monday afternoon as crews investigated. Normal service resumed about 1:30 p.m, the transit authority said.
