On Monday, 42-year-old Matthew Houbrick, an accountant for the Fox TV show "Prison Break," was found dead in his 6th-floor hotel room at The Drake. It's gonna be about 6-8 weeks before toxicology tests for sure say what he died of, but he was found lying on the floor near his bed with a white powder and pills nearby. Seems like a drug overdose. Apparently the hotel staff was tipped off by a concerned caller so they telephoned the police in and that's when he was found.

Chicagoist was really psyched about "Prison Break," which is filmed at the Joliet Correctional Center, when it first started. .. but our interest has fizzled out as the season has progressed. Are you guys still watching?
