CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- CTA Blue Line service was disrupted for about three hours Thursday after a person was found dead at the Rosemont station.
The CTA first announced that trains were standing near Rosemont at about 1:05 a.m., and fully suspended service between the O’Hare and Harlem stations about half an hour later.
Rosemont Police Supt. Donald Stephens III tweeted that the service disruption was due to a “suspicious death” at the station.

Blue Line trains began operating on their normal route again about 4 a.m., the transit authority said.
The CTA plans on shutting down Blue Line service between O’Hare and Rosemont for nine days of track repairs starting Friday.
