Man found dead inside The Vic Theatre, venue cancels Sunday show

A 42-year-old was found dead inside The Vic Theatre, prompting the Lake View venue to cancel a show on Sunday.

The man was found unresponsive around 5 p.m. inside the venue located at 3145 N. Sheffield Ave., according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as Jason Plahutnik, of the Heart of Chicago neighborhood, officials said.

Roughly an hour and a half after he died, The Vic Theatre announced on social media that Sunday night's Little Feat show was canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances."

People who had tickets to the Sunday night show can exchange them for tickets to the Monday show or request a refund, the venue said.

The Vic organizers said Little Feat will perform Monday night as scheduled.

No further information was immediately available.
