[Brad from Tennessee]

A badly burned body found on the floor of a River North parking garage early Tuesday has been identified as a 60-year-old real estate attorney, officials said.

Louis S. Cohen, 60, was of the 200 block of Ivy Lane in Highland Park, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy Wednesday was pending and did not determine a cause and manner for Cohen’s death, the office said.

Just before 6 a.m. Tuesday, police and fire crews responded to a fire in the 11th floor of a parking garage in the 300 block of North LaSalle Drive and found the body on the floor.

The cause of the fire was unknown. Police were conducting a death investigation. Arson detectives were called to the scene. . .

Detectives will be instructed to drag their feet on this one so it will be a ‘death investigation’ for the rest of the year, at least.

Don’t want to prematurely up the 2017 Homicides. That would make the CPD management look bad, ya know?

Look what I found on this blog [http://illinoispaytoplay.com/tag/dla-piper/] check out the link because there’s much more there :

That’s the same Piper Rudnick that:
(A) employs Obama’s friend and backer, Peter Bynoe, as a senior partner;
(B) is aligned with The Cohen Group where Patrick Fitzgerald’s star witness in the Valerie Plame investigation, Marc Grossman, is Vice Chairman; and
(C) was dealing with Rezko and Frawley pertaining to Companion Security’s 50 million dollar Iraq security contract....

300 n. lasalle is on the river in Chicago right downtown. It’s about a mile from where Cabrini Green used to be before it was demolished a decade ago.

When he donated to Hillary he was employed by DLA Piper as an attny....

Legal firm that employs Nick Clegg's wife advised Gaddafi regime

Lucky thing Hillary never had anything to do with Libya.

At IP2P we’ve also recently learned that Patrick Fitzgerald put McNiven in charge of suppressing evidence that Rezko friend and associate, Dr. Ronald Michael, committed multiple felonies.
One of those felonies was an act of fraud that involved the law firm Piper Rudnick, currently known as DLA Piper.——http://illinoispaytoplay.com/tag/piper-rudnick/

Never know what will turn up on this.

Anyone with a dot connecting to the hildabeast that turns up burned to death could be considered an arkancide & added to the death list???
