GRAND RAPIDS -- Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley has canceled his noon appearance at the Grand Rapids Economic Club today due to the death of Chicago School Board President Michael Scott -- a Daley appointee.
Chicago police discovered Scott's body in the Chicago River early this morning, according to Chicago news sources. He reportedly died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Scott served in a number of positions under Daley and was a long-time figure in Chicago politics, serving under mayors Jane Byrne, Harold Washington, Eugene Sawyer and Richard Daley.
