NAPERVILLE, Ill. (WLS) -- A man died at Ribfest in Naperville Thursday afternoon.
The death happened in the carnival area on a ride called Pharaoh's Fury, a boat-shaped ride that swings on a pendulum.
ABC7's news partner The Daily Herald reports a man dove under the ride around 3 p.m. A witness told The Daily Herald that the ride apparently struck the man three times before the operator was able to stop the ride.
A source told ABC7 that the death appeared to be a suicide. Police have not offered any comment at this point.
Ribfest and the rest of the carnival continue to operate as police investigate.
