Man dies after suffering medical emergency, slamming into SUV

FROM Sun Times NewsGroup WIRE REPORTS, a tragedy early Sunday morning
A 49-year-old man died early Sunday after suffering a medical emergency and rear-ending a parked SUV on the South Side, authorities said.

Kenard Jarrett, of the 7700 block of South Wabash Avenue, was pronounced dead at Jackson Park Hospital at 5:31 a.m., the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said. An autopsy Monday found Jarrett died of pulmonary thromboembolism — or a blockage of an artery in the lungs caused by a blood clot — and deep vein thrombosis. His death was ruled natural.

Jarrett was heading west in the 500 block of East 79th Street about 1:30 a.m. Sunday when he slammed into a parked 1999 Chevy Suburban, according to police. The man was driving a Chrysler 3000.

No other individuals were injured in the crash.
