McHenry County Associate Judge Michael Coppedge died after falling in his chambers in the Woodstock courthouse. His colleagues praised his intellect and caring.
McHenry County Associate Judge Micheal Coppedge, described by colleagues as courteous, brilliant and honorable, died Monday morning after falling ill in his chambers at the courthouse in Woodstock.
A body was found Wednesday afternoon in the Fox River, nearly two weeks after McHenry police began looking for a 28-year-old man who went missing, officials said.
A coroner says a woman who drove the wrong way on Interstate 90 in northern Illinois, causing a crash that killed a family of six and a 13-year-old family friend, was intoxicated at the time. McHenry County Coroner Michael Rein said Monday that 22-year-old Jennifer Fernandez of Carpentersville, who also died in the crash, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.164 percent, more than twice the legal standard for intoxication. The July 31 crash on Interstate 90 in McHenry County also killed 32-year-old Thomas Dobosz of Rolling Meadows, his 31-year-old wife, Lauren, and five children. They were traveling in a Chevrolet full-size van.
