Claire L. Neuberger, 31, of Chicago died Tuesday evening after suffering a seizure, Niles police said.

At about 5 p.m., Niles police and fire departments responded to a call saying a woman had suffered a seizure at the Leaning Tower YMCA, 6300 W. Touhy, Niles.

Neuberger was teaching a swim class in the YMCA's pool when she suffered the seizure, and other instructors rushed to begin lifesaving efforts, according to police. Niles Fire Department paramedics took over lifesaving efforts when they arrived, and took the woman to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. However, she was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m. The county Medical Examiner's Office is investigating.
