Christopher Kelly placed a mattress in a rented trailer at a suburban lumberyard Friday night, set up photographs of his children around it, then ingested pills and possibly rat poison, according to a source with specific knowledge of the investigation into Kelly’s death.
For some reason, he then left the trailer and attempted to drive away from the area. He made it only about 100 feet in the parking lot of the Forest Lumber yard before contacting his girlfriend, touching off a chain of events that saw Kelly taken to two hospitals before he died.
One of Kelly’s best friends, who had been sought by police since attempting to drive Kelly’s SUV from Oak Forest Hospital, has now given a statement to police detailing what happened that night, the Tribune has learned. Country Club Hills police officials are expected to lay out a more detailed timeline of events later today at an afternoon press conference.
The friend, Michael Allen, gave his statement to authorities yesterday, said a source with specific knowledge of the situation. Police have recovered containers of rat poison that Kelly may have used.

Oh Lord .. rat poison with everything else.
One blog reported 1,000 aspirins ingested ..
which sounds totally ludicrous.
