CHICAGO (CBS) — Ald. Willie Cochran (20th) collapsed during city budget hearings, prompting colleagues to rush to his side and call for paramedics.
Cochran was attending the Chicago Police Department’s budget hearing at City Hall, when he appeared to slump over in his chair.
Budget Committee Chair Ald. Carrie Austin (34th) noticed Cochran collapse from her seat on the dais and shouted out “Man down! He’s having a stroke.”
Several colleagues and at least one police officer quickly rushed to his side. Members of the press were asked to leave the Council Chambers while Cochran was being treated.
Paramedics arrived a few minutes later to begin treating Cochran, and Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said Cochran was responsive and alert.
