Glencoe drowning death ruled cardiac event by coroner

A Glencoe resident died Sunday after suffering a cardiac event while in his pool, authorities said.

David M. Stein, 75, of Glencoe died Sunday after public safety personnel responded to a report of an unresponsive person in a pool early Sunday afternoon at a home on the 300 block of Old Green Bay Road, according to Deputy Chief Andrew Perley.

Officers administered live-saving techniques at the scene, Perley added. Stein was then transported to Highland Park Hospital, where he died.

The village initially classified the death as a drowning, but it was later determined to be a heart-related event, Lake County Chief Deputy Coroner Stephen Newton said.

Newton added Stein was in cardiac arrhythmia when the paramedics arrived.

Stein was married to his wife for 53 years and they had two children and four grandchildren, according to an online obituary.
