A former chief fundraiser for ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich died Saturday, just days before he was to report to prison to begin a three-year sentence for tax offenses that included using his company's money to pay gambling debts and claiming it as a business expense.Kelly, a suburban roofing contractor and Blagojevich's longtime fundraiser, was charged along with the former governor in an indictment alleging Blagojevich sought to sell or trade President Barack Obama's former seat in the U.S. Senate.

This video was taken just a few weeks ago. As you can see, he was on his deathbed, poor fellow.

Chicago politicians are usually tough guys who are accustomed to doing time in the Iron Bar Motel. I don’t think being sentenced to the big house would be enough to make one of them commit “suicide”.

I still believe the Kennedy’s had her killed, most likely Bobby.

I would guess there will be no real investigation. The depth of the corruption is astounding.

Agree.
Except, the Kennedy’s were so wonderful about honoring women though...weren’t they? Or am I mixing them up again with the Bush’s...
What a disgusting family the Kennedy’s were..from old Joe on down!

The body was found in a lumberyard right next to two HUGE Interstate highway exits (I-80 and I-57). Suicides use hotel rooms, not lumber yards (or National Parks, for that matter).

using his company's money to pay gambling debts and claiming it as a business expense
Could he have been entertaining clients? When does Rangel's sentence start?/s
To: Dr. Sivana
Where did you get that info from?
To: blueglass
So he was involved in the whole Chicago/Obama political scene, which raises the question, “Was this a case of Chicagoside (or maybe that should be Kenyaside)?”

As I said in another post, why does anyone think it suspicious that he committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head three times with his Thompson Contender?
