A McHenry man is believed to have died of natural causes after his body was found on a trail at the Moraine Hills State Park Thursday, officials report.
Craig M. Ragusin, 66, was identified by McHenry County Coroner Michael Rein, according to a coroner’s office news release. Ragusin was found dead at the scene, and investigations determined he died from natural causes.
Ragusin is believed to have had a medical emergency and was found quickly afterwards where people tried to resuscitate him for about 45 minutes, Ragusin’s son Matt Ragusin said.
The coroner’s office thanked the Illinois Conservation Police and the McHenry Township Fire Protection District in the release for their collaboration during the investigation.
Ragusin was the director of roofing operations for McHenry-based contractor Metalmaster Roofmaster and retired in June 2023, Erin O’Sullivan of Metalmaster and Roofmaster said. Ragusin and his team received the Master Contractor Award in 2014 by Firestone Building Products Company LLC.
