SPRINGFIELD -- A key figure in the perjury investigation of U.S. Sen. Roland Burris died in an automobile accident Monday, authorities in far west-suburban Kendall County confirmed Tuesday.
John Ruff, of Sandwich, Ill., was killed shortly before 3 p.m. when his 2001 BMW convertible crossed an oncoming lane of traffic and collided with a tree while he was driving eastbound on Rogers Road near Oak Brook Road in unincorporated Plano, said Kendall County Sheriff's Deputy Richard Pearson.

This guy.

hmmm.
hmmm indeed.
Marcellis said that a friend of Ruff’s indicated to her that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor, though it was unclear whether that had any bearing on the crash. “Obviously, one of the effects of a brain tumor is you have seizures. It could have been an issue for him,” she said.

Prosecutor: Sen. Burris won't face perjury charge
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — An Illinois prosecutor says Sen. Roland Burris will not be charged with perjury for statements he made before an Illinois House impeachment committee because there isn't enough evidence.
Sangamon County State's Attorney John Schmidt said Friday that while some of Burris' statements were vague, they wouldn't support a perjury charge.
