You remember form Illinois Governor Blagojevich and the corruption scandal that came to light earlier this year? Well on Sunday his former chief fundraiser,Christopher Kelly, died, apparently due to an overdose of prescription medicine.
He had recently undergone a surgery, but the type of procedure and type of pain killer have not been released. He did have a prescription for post-opt pain, however other drugs were found in his vehicle. Right now it hasn't been released if the drugs in the vehicle were or were not prescribed.
The always outspoken Blagojevich says he feels it was a suicide because the government had been putting pressure on Kelly to testify and "lie" about him and the scandal. While that is possible, there are other possibilities as well. Since Blagojevich was literally caught red handed and forced out of office, it is likely that those close to him have incriminating information. Perhaps investigators will find that this wasn't a suicide after all?
