On September 13 a body of a 27-year-old man was found, according to the Northwest Herald, on the outbound tracks of the Metra line in Woodstock, not far from the Woodstock Police station. The man was identified as Robert (Bobby) Delisi, and it was reported that there was trauma to the body. Police said no train ran over Delisi.
Results of an autopsy were inconclusive, according to the office of the McHenry County Coroner.
All that news was announced within the first 24 hours. After that? Nothing.
Is the Woodstock Police Department doing anything in connection with this death? Sure, I realize that toxicology reports take a couple of weeks. Are they back yet? And even if they are, will there be important clues there?
What is the speculation about how Delisi got to the tracks or onto them? If the assumption is that party or parties unknown placed his body on the outbound tracks, they apparently didn't know that outbound trains were re-routed onto the inbound track because of grade-crossing construction at Calhoun St.
With whom, and where, did Delisi spend Monday evening? Was alcohol involved? Drugs? Woodstock Police ought to be all over all known acquaintances, friends and others to identify the events leading up to his death.
Since Beth Bentley went missing in May 2010, not just a few people have said to me that they hope they never go missing from Woodstock or die in a suspicious manner in Woodstock. Certainly, if there is an active investigation that is moving forward toward criminal charges against one or more of Delisi's friends or acquaintances, police will not have much to say.
But you'd think that, in two weeks, they'd have said something.
A request has been made to the McHenry County Coroner for information pertaining to the date of the inquest in this case.

I heard that Beth Bentley ran in the same circles as Bobby and that they knew each other. Do you know this to be true Gus?
What I had heard was they frequented the same places, including Gus's Roadhouse and Liquid Blues. I've not heard that they were acquainted.
Poor choices using flawed materials yield bad results.
I know a little bit about who he's connected with, in terms of the "posse". The only people he's "friends" with is Robin and her husband, as well as Gary Castaldo. To my knowledge, you are right. Bobby and Beth only frequented some of the same places, but that's as far as it goes.
Anyone ever uncover cause of death or toxicity reoort?
Anyone ever find out cause of death, toxicity report, autopsy or if narcotics were in his possession? I hear he was mostly an alcoholic but was an occasional drug user. A loved one of mine was very close to bobby at one time and he just heard lots of rumors? Would be nice if someone could clarify the truth on what happened???
I have had on my list of things-to-do to go to the Coroner's Office and to the Woodstock Police Department regarding this death.
So far as I know, no information was ever released or published about this death after the initial reporting.
