Wood told police he was high on marijuana and PCP when he beat his 16-year-old daughter, Gloria Wood, in an argument over money, Kennedy said. The girl, of Park Forest, was visiting her father for the weekend like she often did.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said she was pronounced dead on the scene and a Thursday autopsy determined she died from blunt head trauma and the death was ruled a homicide. Police said the girl’s jaw and nose were broken, she had several fractures to her skull and vertebrae and was choked.
