Real estate power broker dead of apparent suicide
cnn ^ | 1/07/08 | CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN)

One of Chicago's most well-known real estate moguls appears to have shot himself to death, police said.

The body of Steven L. Good was found in his Jaguar on Monday. The car was spotted in a parking lot of a wildlife preserve in Kane County, Illinois, just outside Chicago, authorities said.

No note was found, and police say they do not know how long the 52-year-old had been in the vehicle.

Good was the chairman and chief executive officer of Sheldon Good & Co., a major U.S. real estate auction company.

The death comes amid great turmoil in the country's real estate industry. In his role as chairman of the Realtors Commercial Alliance Committee, Good commented on tough conditions last month at a business conference

My second thought, after wondering about financial losses, was to wonder about the Fitzgerald investigation.

You don’t suppose he might have been implicated?

From another post a freeper brought up a really good point. Billions of people live on this earth making less than a dollar a day, and they don’t all kill themselves, heck they even smile during the day too.

Ohhhh, nice catch. I never thought of that, I need more tinfoil now but that has a nice "feel" to it.

Whereas the Creator God is with us in rich and poor, good times and bad.

Kind of like a spouse? I don't know. I've never been married.

Saw this earlier and wondered the same; wonder more, hearing that he was an Obama advisor and not a ‘breath’ about this association. Also; had been wondering since beginning of Blago scandal, when the ‘fix it’ team might come in and take care of extraneous business.

According to her bio at HillaryClinton.com, yes, she grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, between Chicago proper and O'Hare airport.

“People replace the real God with other gods like the god of money.”

My thoughts exactly. I can’t imagine killing yourself over money (not that you should kill yourself for anything, but killing yourself over money just shows how messed up priorities are in life).

Seems more likely he would have left a note; some message; given the deed was committed ‘thoughtfully’ in his car. I don’t know; maybe he was supposed to meet someone and discuss business; and they did. . .(They have yet to say he was in financial straights. . .)
