Police said Stephen Canfield, of Harvard, was riding on the back of a golf cart headed south on Johnson Road, just north of Illinois Route 173 in unincorporated McHenry County near Hebron, when he fell off the cart. Three other men – all 20 or 21 years old – were on the cart at the time, but they were not injured.

Canfield was taken to Centegra Woodstock Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police said alcohol use was suspected as a factor in the accident, but no charges had been filed as of Monday morning.

McHenry County Sheriff's police were investigating.
