The McHenry County Coroner has decided that there will not be an inquest into the death of Robert (Bobby) Delisi, whose body was found on (or along) the Metra railroad tracks near the Woodstock Police Department on September 13, 2011.
This likely means that the public will never learn the cause and manner of Delisi's death.
Was Delisi's death caused by an overdose of illegal (or legal) drugs? If so, isn't this in the public interest? And, if he did, shouldn't the Woodstock Police Department be hot on the trail of his supplier(s)? The toxicology report is likely to be withheld by the Woodstock Police Department, and the only way to get the information into the public's hands is through the Coroner.
Why is this important? Illegal drug use and abuse are huge problems in Woodstock and McHenry County. But you'd never know it from the local newspapers. Sure, every once in a while, somebody gets caught with some white stuff or a pipe or other paraphernalia.
Incidentally, I would favor routine drug testing for all law enforcement and firefighter personnel in McHenry County. (This is sure to increase my popularity...)
If you believe that Coroner Marlene Lantz should hold an inquest into Bobby Delisi's death, email her at malantz@co.mchenry.il.us
If you'd like me to know also, send me a cc: or bcc: I shall not reveal your name.

Seriously? No one cares what caused this young man to be found dead on the railroad tracks? Doesnt his family want answers even if the Woodstock Police Department doesnt? This man did not park himself on the railroad tracks and die of natural causes.... things that make you go hmmmmmm.
The following is my email today to Coroner Lantz. Please send your own email to her today.
"I respectfully request that an inquest be conducted into the death of Robert Delisi. The cause and manner of his death are suspicious. Was it homicide or accident or unknown? If toxicology reports reveal illegal substances in his body, then a criminal investigation would have to follow. It is very suspicious that his body would be found on RR tracks, where it would have been run over by a train, had the tracks not been closed for repair."
