Jack Shaw, 61, Arrested in the Massive New Jersey Corruption Scandal, Found dead in Jersey City Apartment

Jack Shaw, 61, one of the gang of 44 arrested in last Thursday's massive New Jersey corruption scandal, was found dead in his apartment this evening, according to Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio. According to NJ.com, no weapon was found at the scene and an autopsy will be performed to ascertain the cause of his death.

Shaw, a political consultant, was accused, in the criminal complaint , of taking $10,000 from the government informant for himself and an additional $10,000 in campaign contribution for an unnamed Jersey City official.

This latest death is eerily reminiscent of Ken Lay who died before sentencing in the Enron case.
