Woman, Police to Discuss Blagojevich Friend Death
CHICAGO (AP) -- An attorney for a woman who reportedly drove the former chief fundraiser for ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich to the hospital before he died says his client is willing to meet with investigators.

Authorities say 51-year-old Christopher Kelly was found slumped in his car in suburban Country Club Hills Friday night by Clarissa Flores-Buhelos. Kelly died Saturday morning at a Chicago hospital.

Buhelos attorney Terry Gillespie says they tried to arrange a meeting for Saturday but police suggested Monday. He declined to provide details about a meeting.

Police are investigating Kelly's death as a possible suicide and say drugs were found in his vehicle. He was to report to prison Friday to begin serving a three-year term for tax fraud.
