I was posting my #70 while unbeknownst to me, you were posting #68. Our #68 & #70 posts are the same, but they BOTH differ from your post #49, which is what I was referring to. "where officials alerted authorities of his whereabouts about 3 a.m.."

I thought that was a rather odd statement to begin with, as is "ended up at Oak Forest." I also wondered whether being transferred by private ambulance is typical.

Kelly was found in a lumber yard near 173rd Street and Cicero Avenue in Country Club Hills late Friday, said the town’s mayor, Dwight Welch. Kelly ended up at Oak Forest Hospital, where officials alerted authorities of his whereabouts about 3 a.m., Welch said.

Kelly then was transferred by private ambulance to Stroger Hospital at 5:15 a.m. He was treated by doctors and pronounced dead at 10:46 a.m., said hospital spokesman Marcel Bright.

Police found vomit in the lumber yard parking lot, Welch said.

“We are treating this as a death investigation—it’s a possible homicide or suicide, but it’s a high-profile case so we have a homicide level investigation,” Welch said.

At Oak Forest, he was treated and stabilized and doctors determined he needed additional treatment at Stroger, so he was transferred there by private ambulance, Bright said. Kelly arrived at Stroger at 5:15 a.m.
