Blago Fundraiser Found Dead
2009-09-12
The Cook County medical examiner confirms Rod Blagojevich's former chief fundraiser, who was just days away from beginning an eight-year prison sentence, has been found dead.
Quincy: he's dead
A source tells ABC7 Chicago, paramedics were called after Christopher Kelly was found unresponsive in a condominium in Chicago.
Quincy: unresponsive? That's cuz he's dead
Stroger Hospital spokesman Marcel Bright says Kelly was transported to the hospital from an unknown address at 5:15 a.m. Saturday. He was pronounced dead at 10:46 a.m. The cause of death has not yet been determined.
Quincy: cause of death was "death"...and "knowing too much"
Kelly's defense attorney Michael Monico told ABC7 he would have no immediate comment.
Monico: I don't wanna die

#5  Kelly was also a close associate of Tony Rezko, the 'O's 'shadow' Illinois fundraiser for his Senate (and possibly other) campaign (although Barry denies it, it's a pretty well-known fact around Chi-town).

#3  "How much does a coroner's verdict cost?"

I suspect that depends on the coroner - and the verdict wanted, Steve.

#2  Salicylate, huh? Questions, questions, questions...

1) What's the LD50 for asprin?
2) Is it lower for lead-coated asprin?
3) How much does a coroner's verdict cost?
