The Cook County Medical Examiner in Illinois has revealed the cause of death of a Chicago woman found dead in the stairwell of her husband’s luxury, high-rise condo in October 2024, but her manner of death remains undetermined.

Caitlin Tracey, 36, died of “multiple injuries, fall from height” on Oct. 27, 2024, the medical examiner ruled. No one has been charged in connection with her death, as FOX 32 Chicago first reported.

Court documents filed last year state that “based on the condition of the remains, Decedent’s body fell approximately 24 floors before landing at the bottom of a stairwell.” Her “body was pulverized and her foot was severed from her body,” attorneys for the family wrote.

Tracey’s husband, Adam Beckerink, 46, was arrested in March on a fugitive charge stemming from a warrant in Michigan, where the well-known tax attorney was wanted on charges of domestic violence, resisting and obstructing and larceny, according to FOX 32.

Fox News Digital reached out to Chicago police asking if they have any persons of interest in Tracey’s death, but they did not comment, directing Fox News Digital to Beckerink’s arrest page showing his fugitive charge.

Tracey was chief people officer at Nousot, a data analytics company.
