Phil Pagano, chief of Chicago’s commuter rail system Metra, committed suicide Friday by walking in front of one of his own trains. The suicide comes right after Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., asked the Transportation Inspector General to investigate the use of federal money on Metra.
From Crain’s: The longtime chief of Metra apparently committed suicide Friday morning, just as his employer was expected to fire him for financial irregularities.
