Updated list of Christopher Kelly posts/videos/timeline
The ever evolving story after a press conference that was the most unprofessional I have ever witnessed. The mayor ran the press conference while the poor female police chief was off to the side. I don’t even know her name. He didn’t introduce her, she answered one or two questions and her name was not in the articles.
According to Chicago Breaking News:
Autopsy results inconclusive – pending toxicology.
Kelly texted Flores that he wanted to kill himself.
When she arrived he was covered in vomit and had evidently vomited on the ground in the parking lot.
“Tylenol wrappers and a large container of pills were found”
Kelly was not exactly cooperative with the officer: “I know what you are trying to do. You are trying to trick me.”
The officer said Kelly did not admit to trying to kill himself.
Now that was at 0300. He was coherent and sitting up on a gurney. What could possibly happened to where he was dead 7 hours later? And what happened in those first 4 hours? And why was he transferred via private ambulance instead of EMS and what kind of treatment was going on en route?
MARCEL BRIGHT, STROGER HOSPITAL spokesman, in an e-mail. “The treatment or treatments necessary could be better facilitated at Stroger. He was stabilized before being transported.”
Yes, it’s absolutely clear he needed to go to a Level 1 ER but what about Christ Hospital? 45 minutes is a long transport, especially if he is not being treated.
No security cameras near parking lot.
Will be looking at Oak Forest security tapes to find the mystery gray-haired white male.
Here they said he tried to drive away in Kelly’s vehicle before police stopped him – and yet they didn’t get his name? And the police do not have the keys to the vehicle. [A different report had the Escalade back in the parking lot - but Welch said it was towed from the hospital lot to the police station.]
Again Flores’ lawyer, Terry Gillespie, denied that his client is not cooperating with the police. I think she should sue Welch for broadcasting her personal information – the reporters all got a copy of it.
Gillespie said he and Flores are scheduled to meet with Country Club Hills police Monday morning.
Hospital records should be available as well.
