The Cook County Medical Examiner announced on Monday that Caitlin Tracey, 36, died of "multiple injuries, fall from height."

Her body was found in the stairwell of her husband’s South Loop high-rise on Oct. 27, 2024.

While her cause of death is now confirmed, the office said it has not determined how or why she fell, and has listed her manner of death as "undetermined."

Her husband, Adam Beckerink, was arrested months later, on March 7, 2025, on a fugitive warrant out of Michigan.

According to Chicago police and court records, the arrest is not directly related to Tracey’s death.
Beckerink, 46, is a well-known tax attorney in Chicago. He was taken into custody at his South Loop condo—the same building where Tracey died.

The Michigan warrant stemmed from a domestic violence case in Berrien County, where Tracey had lived in a New Buffalo home before and during their six-month marriage.

Court records say police were twice called to Tracey's Michigan home in 2023. In one instance, she was reported to have visible injuries and accused Beckerink of assault and theft.

Beckerink faces six felony charges in Michigan, including domestic violence and resisting arrest.
