Attendees enjoying the popular Blue Island Fest just steps away from the pool had no idea someone had died. Several were upset the park district hadn't made them aware of it, especially after reopening the pool to the public Saturday.Blue Island Park District President Fred Bilotto defended the action.
"It's an open investigation," he said. "We cannot make anyone aware of anything because we don't know exactly what happened yet."
Some have stated that the actions of city officials were "careless" and reprehensible. Blue Island resident Elias Contreras stated, "City officials, they shouldn't be out here drinking. I mean, they get mad when the kids do it, then they shouldn't do it either you know." An autopsy is schedule for today.
