Kellogg employee found strangled, stabbed to death

A Kellogg School of Management employee was found dead Tuesday in his Lincoln Park apartment.

Brad Nelson Winters, whose passion is as a Chicago theater director and actor, died from multiple stab wounds and strangulation, according to a spokeswoman for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. He was 38.

His body was found Tuesday after coworkers at Kellogg worried because he had failed to show up for his job as a the marketing department assistant for the executive education program.

Winters, artistic director of Chicago’s Terrapin Theatre Company, was stabbed in the neck, shoulder and chest, said Officer Wayne Frisbie of Chicago Police Department. Police observed no signs of forced entry into Winters’ apartment and no arrests had been made Thursday in connection with Winters’ death.

Winters most recently directed the Terrapin Theatre Company’s production of “The Go” at the Athenaeum Theatre, 2936 N. Southport Ave., which ended June 8. He first directed with the company in 1997 for its production of “Stags and Hens.” Calls to the company were not returned Thursday.

Chuck Loebbeka, Northwestern’s director of media relations, said Winters had worked at Kellogg for two years in the same position. No plans yet have been made for a memorial service at NU, Loebbeka said.
