No Arrests, Few Details Released In Fatal Shooting: Police

MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — No arrests have been made in connection with the death of a 36-year-old woman, whose body was found on a beach near Burtons Bridge last week, and authorities are not sharing many details regarding the ongoing investigation.

Preliminary findings from an autopsy reveal Megan Chamberlain died from a gunshot wound to the chest, McHenry County Coroner Michael Rein said. No details have been released into the shooting or who may have fired the gun.

Police also would not comment Monday on whether they had a suspect or were pursuing any specific leads.

"At this time, there is an active death investigation and no additional concerns for public safety. It is an isolated incident," according to an email response from the McHenry County Sheriff's Office communications department.

Deputies were first dispatched to the beach, located at Riverside Drive and Lily Court, at about 5:15 a.m. Thursday after receiving reports of shots fired. Chamberlain was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:37 a.m., Rein said.

Authorities did say the shooting was an "isolated incident."

"At this time, it's an active death investigation and the sheriff's office is working with the coroner's office," Emily Matusek, a communications specialist with the sheriff's office, told Patch on Friday. "At this time, there is no threat to the public and no one is in custody."
