Lake Arlington fish die off:

The Arlington Heights Park District is investigating why hundreds of dead fish washed up Sunday on the shores of Lake Arlington.

According to a news release, the park district is in contact with the Department of Natural Resources about the issue. Common reasons for fish die-off include drought, algae bloom, overpopulation or a sustained increase in water temperature, officials said.
