An awning over the entry to the Corless OTB in Illinois collapsed under the weight of heavy snow.

Two OTB employees were hurt.

One employee was transported to Christ Hospital is serious condition.

Ch.7 said medics were performing CPR on the person en route to the hospital.

Last Update:

Just watched Ch.7 again.

This time they didn't say the deceased was an OTB employee.

They interviewed one of his friends who was suppose to meet him at the OTB.

So apparently the guy was one of us.

A BDH ( Broken Down Horseplayer as Dave Feldman use to say) just playing the horses at the OTB.

R.I.P.
