Officer Passes
He became ill last night and comments asking for prayers started popping up here almost immediately. Sadly, he didn't pull through:
- A 21-year veteran Chicago Police narcotics officer died this morning, a day after he was taken to a hospital complaining of chest pains while on duty, officials said.
The officer, Paul Nauden, 46, of the Scottsdale neighborhood on the Southwest Side, was pronounced dead at 6:15 a.m. at the University of Chicago Medical Center, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
[...] Nauden was a 21-year Chicago police veteran, according to city records.
The officer was on patrol Thursday afternoon when he began feeling ill and was taken to the hospital, said police spokesman Officer John Mirabelli. The narcotics officer was assigned to the police’s Homan Square facility, said [Police News Affairs]...
RIP Officer Nauden.

If you are the praying type, please say a prayer for Paul's team.
As you could imagine, this is devastating news for his SGT and fellow co-workers, it is an extremely difficult time for all for them, as it surely is for Paul's family.
R.I.P.
So sad God Bless you Paul
My prayers go out to the officer and his family. May St. Michael protect him.
My condolences to Officer Nauden's family and CPD. We'll be at your sides in mourning.
I had the opportunity to go to Narcotics back in 2002, as a patrolman. I was assigned to Paul's team. Paul literally showed me the ropes, so to speak. Sadly that is something you don't see to much of anymore, a veteran officer guiding a younger officer how to do things the right way. We had some great times, a lot of laughs, and did some really good investigations. I am going to miss you Paul and thank you.

God Bless you & your family officer PAUL.
Rest in JESUS
May God Bless Him and His Family.
RIP, Brother
Such shocking news....Paul was a great guy! A pleasure to work with, and a real decent man. RIP Paul, condolences to your widow & children, you are already missed.
He was in Class 90-1.
We had 350 in the class and I did not know him. I'm not sure what classroon he was in.
RIP Brother
Rest in peace, Officer Nauden. Gone too soon for a purpose up in heaven. Prayers for his loved ones, and for his brothers-in-arms- stay strong.
Paul was a great guy who saw through the bull shit and was not afraid to speak his mind or stand up fo what he thought was right
God Bless Paul

My heart is heavy with the passing of Paul; knew him from the 003rd District when I first went there and our paths crossed again in Unit 189. My thoughts and prayers are with Paul and his family...may he rest in peace.
RIP Paul Godspeed to you! Prayers for the family!!
I came on the job with Paul and we touched base as our careers moved to different places in the CPD. He was a very energetic officer and always wanted to be the police. He loved working in Narcotics. He loved his family and loved CPD. He was taken way too soon and I will miss him. R.I.P. Paul. My condolences to your wife and children and to your CPD family.
RIP Brother
God Bless you. Condolences to your family and friends. Thank you for your service.

R.I.P. Brother. This is an unfortunate event for Paul's family and his police family. My prayers go out to you.
Just recently about two months ago my brother in law passed away. He was only 38. I know it sounds like a cliche but cherish each day you are with your loved ones. You really don't know if it may be your last.
Nauden was in 90-1F. I remember him as a good guy.
My prayers for Paul's family. Thank you Paul for everything.
Rest easy brother. May God bless the family...

Want to know the one of the biggest differences in our pension laws vs fire? If they go to a fire and two days later, die of a heart attack, its duty related. If we fight some guy on Monday and our RDO we have a heart attack and die? Well thats just our bad luck. This needs to be changed in the pension code to reflect what Fire gets and we do not. Look how many of us die by age 60 from heart related disease.....
God bless
Paul was in good ole F-Troop!!!!!!!
I remember him so well! Memories of running while in the academy & hearing "Nnaaaaaudennnnnn"! LOL Great guy & will be missed! Too many have passed way too young..."only the good die young"
R.I.P. Paul
My pryers go to this great officer and his family.
RIP.
---not a cop
Rest in peace officer, may God bless you and your family!!!
So sorry to hear this:-(
My condolences to Officer Nauden's family, friends and team.
Hey SCC on the topic of health I really think you should check out the documentary Food Matters. It breaks my heart to see so many coppers going to doctors who know everything about drugs, but zero about nutrition, and even less on the healing effects of vitamins and minerals. These kinds of sudden occurrences are becoming more and more common. One drug can bring about five problems for one problem we are trying to fix. God Bless this copper and his family, and I hope we start watching for each other and each other's health.
Look how many of us die by age 60 from heart related disease.....

stop eating shit
Paul I saw you every now and then at the Area typing up the arrest reports, or when we would cross paths in the hallway. I didnt know you personally but your passing has struck me in such an odd way. May the Department honor you appropriately and make it a line of duty death, so that your family can be taken care of. God Bless the Nauden family.

RIP Brother in Blue. To you, your family, your team, and your brothers and sisters in Blue. God Bless. Stey Safe.

Has anybody here seen my old friend Paul?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend Michael Flisk?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend Michael Bailey?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...
Anybody here seen my old friend Thor?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill,
With Thomas, Alan, Alex, Joseph, Nathaniel...
My deepest Condolences to the family. RIP
God Bless. RIP
People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive.
RIP Paul, never forgotten.
Paul was a great guy and a good policeman. God bless you and your family.
Does anyone have any information about the wake/funeral? I am on furlo and will not be back in town until this Wednesday.
Godspeed!
