A 29-year-old man died of injuries he sustained in a fall during the Chicago Open Air festival.

Witnesses told police that Smucz had been sitting on a railing in the mezzanine section and fell to the concrete below.

Autopsy results indicated that he suffered multiple injuries from the fall, and his death was ruled an accident, the medical examiner’s office said.

Smucz attended the Chicago Open Air festival with two friends.

Robert‘s girlfriend wrote on Facebook: “Rob was one of the nicest people I had ever met and such an incredible person. He always wanted everyone around him to be happy. Everyone who met him loved him.”

Smucz‘s funeral will be held at Colonial-Wojciechowski Funeral Home in Niles on Thursday, followed by burial at Maryhill Cemetery.
