There is no mention of the cause of death or whether the number of deaths is elevated for this time of year.

The Week 39 MMWR just came out and this is what is listed for Chicago

Chicago, IL
All Ages - 224
> 65 - 148
45-65 - 57
25-44 - 13
1-24 - 6
<1 - 0
P&I - 11

I haven't had a chance to look at previous weeks to see if this is typical for Chicago in October.

CHICAGO (CBS) ? The Cook County Morgue is once again double-stacking bodies on trays in its cooler. As WBBM Newsradio?s Steve Miller reports, at least 30 trays are being stacked on the cooler at the county Medical Examiner?s Office, 2121 W. Harrison St.
