The body of a Chicago man, who went missing Monday night after a concert near a popular music venue, was recovered from the Chicago River Saturday morning and identified by the family as Noah Enos.
A close family member shared the news on a Go Fund Me page dedicated to Enos.
“Unfortunately, we have received heartbreaking confirmation that Noah has passed away,” Kristen Zoller wrote. “The family is grateful for the many prayers, generous donations and the outpouring of kindness and support you have shown during these exceptionally difficult days. Please continue to keep Noah’s loved ones in your prayers.”
The 26-year-old’s body was found near the 1300 block of North Elston Avenue around 9:45 a.m., Chicago’s Fox 32 reported.

The media outlet received confirmation from the medical examiner late on Saturday that the remains recovered from the river were those of Enos, although no cause of death had been revealed.
Enos attended a concert with a colleague at the Salt Shed in the former packaging warehouse of Morton Salt on Monday evening.
According to Enos’s family, he had been in touch with friends via text and Snapchat around 9 p.m. and his phone died around 10 p.m.
Enos’ colleague told his family that he went to the bathroom around 10 p.m., “and when he got out, he couldn’t find Noah,” Enos’ mother, Lee Anne Chapin, previously told Fox News Digital.

The missing man’s family searched tirelessly for him and even suspected “malicious intent” after learning from AT&T that his last messages and calls were sent around 5 p.m. that night, even though his friends stamped text messages from him between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.

At about 8 p.m., Enos texted a friend to say he was at the front of the venue, and at 9 p.m., he texted the same friend, but never again after that.
Chapin also said it was weird that he never contacted his girlfriend and didn’t walk home.

Enos moved to Chicago about a year ago and worked at a restaurant. According to his family, he also did some graphic design work for a T-shirt company.
An autopsy is expected to take place to determine how Enos died.
