The Cook County medical examiner's office could not immediately confirm his death.

The 26-year-old woman driving the Altima was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where her condition was stabilized, police said. Two of her passengers, a 25-year-old man and a 21-year-old man, were also taken to Mount Sinai in fair condition. A third passenger was taken to Mercy Hospital in fair condition.
