The Cook County medical examiner's office identified the remains as Yneekah Garcia of Chicago.

Police were called to the scene at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday and found the door on Garcia's neck.

Garcia was pronounced dead at 8 a.m.

Chicago police spokeswoman Laura Kubiak says authorities are conducting a death investigation.

Family members say the garage door on Garcia's home had been broken and believe Garcia had parked her vehicle inside the garage before trying to lower it manually.

Garcia is survived by four children.

Funeral arrangements are pending.
