The department is working with local and federal health authorities.
The death comes as the state continues to see an uptick in the number of hospitalizations from people reporting severe bleeding after using a synthetic cannabinoid product. "Without more information, IDPH does not know how much contaminated product is circulating or where".
There are now cases in at least eight Chicago-area communities including Cook County, Dupage County, Kane County, McLean County, Peoria County, Tazewell County and Will County.
"Synthetic cannabinoids are unsafe".
One of the deaths was in Chicago and the other in central IL.

During that time, physicians treated 456 patients total for synthetic cannabinoid intoxications.
These mind-altering chemicals are called cannabinoids, since they are similar to the chemicals found in marijuana, though they can cause serious side effects that are different from those of marijuana. The substance is sometimes used as a spray on plant material for smoking, or sold as liquids to be vaporized and inhaled in e-cigarettes or other devices, according to the health department's warning.
People who smoke synthetic cannabinoids can have rapid heart rate, vomiting, agitation, confusion and hallucinations, according to the CDC. IDPH spokeswoman Melaney Arnold told the Chicago newspaper that the product is banned for sale across the state, but some manufacturers alter the "molecular makeup of the products" to "get around" the law.
Two people are dead and more than 50 people have been hospitalized after consuming synthetic cannabis that is causing severe bleeding, according to health officials.
"These chemicals are called cannabinoids because they act on the same brain cell receptors as the main active ingredient in marijuana", IDPH explained, warning that the drug's impact can be life-threatening.
"What's happening in IL is different, and these are bleeding complications". "It's often used as a rodenticide, or in rat poison".
