Update! Mr. Satterfield’s family has been located! Thank you all for all of your help!

Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon is asking for the public’s assistance in locating the next of kin of Michael Satterfield, 66, of Springfield.

Mr. Satterfield was found on June 18 near a construction site in the 1000 block of North Grand Avenue East in Springfield. The Sangamon County Coroner’s Office was notified and responded to the scene. Mr. Satterfield was pronounced deceased at the scene at 8:15 a.m.

Preliminary autopsy findings indicate Mr. Satterfield died from a cervical spine fracture consistent with a fall. The death remains under investigation by the Sangamon County Coroner’s Office and the Springfield Police Department.

The Coroner’s Office has been unable to locate Mr. Satterfield’s next of kin. Investigators have checked multiple previous addresses in both the Chicago area and Springfield area, called numerous phone numbers associated with possible emergency contacts, and searched available law enforcement databases, but have not been able to identify or contact a relative.

Anyone with information regarding Mr. Satterfield’s next of kin is asked to contact the Sangamon County Coroner’s Office at 217-753-6610.

A photo of Mr. Satterfield is being released to assist with identification and notification of family.

I cosponsor SB2270, a bill that ensures that deputy county medical examiners and deputy coroners are formally recognized as first responders under Illinois law for purposes of employer-provided mental health counseling insurance coverage.

This measure closes the gap by extending the existing protections already available to county coroners and medical examiners to their deputies as well. It recognizes the important public safety role these professionals serve our communities with and ensures they receive fair health coverage benefits.

This bill passed both Houses and heads to the governor’s desk for consideration.
