There are plenty of questions surrounding the death of Christopher Kelly, the one-time confidante of Rod Blagojevich who was headed off to prison soon.
Questions about what drugs Kelly took. Questions about the "mystery man" with gray hair who tried to pick up Kelly's Cadillac SUV from the hospital. Questions about whether the pressure to cooperate with federal authorities or the prospect of a long stretch in prison, drove him to suicide. Questions about how his death will impact the prosecution of Blagojevich.
There's something else that deserves real scrutiny: What kind of medical care did Kelly get at Oak Forest Hospital and Stroger Hospital?
Here's what we know: Kelly, who was to begin a nearly 8-year federal sentence this week for federal mail fraud and other offenses, was found inside his SUV late Friday. He was covered in vomit and appeared to be suffering from a drug overdose. His girlfriend drove him to Oak Forest Hospital, where he was admitted at about 11:15 p.m. Friday.

~~PING!
Something that’s key to questions about his treatment: Kelly was lucid enough to speak to police and was stabilized at one point early Saturday. Later that morning, his condition apparently deteriorated and hospital officials sent him to Stroger Hospital, about 25 miles away.
A spokesman said it was “standard procedure” to transfer patients from one county health facility to Stroger when a higher level of care is needed. Kelly died at Stroger at 10:46 a.m. Saturday. After an autopsy, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said more study is needed to determine a cause of death.
Read to the end, about which the medical cause
of death possibilities are speculated.
Sounds like Arkancide!
Ok I have heard this man was headed for jail time and I have heard he was not he was just a witness for the Blago case. Which or are both, true?
That is a comment from the article.
If John Grisham shopped this story to an editor...would it sell? It is that twisted.
I still think Blago will walk.
thanks for the ping.
An interesting note to all of this....Blago was to have appeared on Fox and Friends last Saturday AM and was a no show. Was this because of his friends death....or was his friend going to spill some beans?
Yep, he got Vince Fostered.
And, is he really dead? Let’s see the body

And so begins another chapter in the Hussein Chronicles, this one titled “Those Gone Missing or Dead”.
FBI should have taken over - death of witness in Fed trial, possible witness tampering, was he threatened so much, he was driven to suicide? Was this a well-disguised murder? Who were ALL of his contacts leading up to Friday night?
Absolutely correct ... much longer than 20 years ... it has also housed TB patients as well as mentally ill back in the old days. It's more like a confinement center than a public facility. I don't think it really has an ER as such.
The lumber yard where Kelley was found is at 174th and Cicero, two miles due south of Oak Forest Hospital which is at 159th and Cicero. Advocate South Suburban Hospital is only two and half miles awat at 178th & Kedzie. It has a state of the art trauma center. Hmmm ... hmmm ...
A few indictments .. he was also a heavy
gambler and was playing money games with
the debts from his contracts.
Hmmmm..
Sounds like a Vince Foster (may he rest in peace) moment.
Thanks .. I’m not getting trauma ctr out of that.
Just like DC Madame I suspect...
