Shaw’s death brings a dark new component to the scandal. Friends and former associates said that for a time, he was a force in New Jersey politics, working with former Gov. James Florio and former Assembly Speaker Joseph Doria, among others.

How can you be so sure it was suicide? This guy was sick, under indictment, and had lots of songs to sing.

He worked for Florio, and he had to know where the skeletons are buried.
