‘Partial head’ found in Fox River in McHenry County: Coroner
Key Points:
- A partial human head was discovered in the Fox River in McHenry County on Wednesday night, prompting an ongoing investigation by local authorities.
- The remains have not yet been positively identified, but the discovery may be connected to a recent fatal boat crash on the Fox River that killed 48-year-old Magdalena Jablonska.
- The crash occurred Saturday afternoon when Richard Stevenson, allegedly intoxicated and driving at 80 mph in a slow zone, collided with the boat carrying Jablonska, resulting in her decapitation.
- Stevenson faces multiple charges, including aggravated DUI and reckless homicide, and prosecutors have stated that not all of Jablonska's body had been recovered following the accident.
- The McHenry County Coroner's office is collaborating with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and local officials to identify the remains and has asked for public patience during the investigation.
