CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- One of Chicago's most well-known real estate moguls appears to have shot himself to death, police said.
Steven Good was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot Monday, police said.
The body of Steven L. Good was found in his Jaguar on Monday. The car was spotted in a parking lot of a wildlife preserve in Kane County, Illinois, just outside Chicago, authorities said.
No note was found, and police say they do not know how long the 52-year-old had been in the vehicle.
Good was the chairman and chief executive officer of Sheldon Good & Co., a major U.S. real estate auction company.
The death comes amid great turmoil in the country's real estate industry. In his role as chairman of the Realtors Commercial Alliance Committee, Good commented on tough conditions last month at a business conference.

I guess things weren’t too Good.
So he Merckel’ed himself - another selfish schmuck!
I wonder if this guy knew Obami?
I like “Obamacide”. Hahahaha.
Very interesting. I know nothing about this guy, but “Chicago” rings a bell...
I wonder if this death was “Chicagocide”?
Maybe it’s time to start an “interesting Chicago deaths” list for the 0bama legacy file.
Wonder what he had on Barry.
“Chicagocide”
Already has a name - The Chicago Way
Yep, shot himself...in the back of the head.
“They put one of ours in the hospital? We put one of theirs in the morgue.”
The windows no longer open on tall buildings as they did in the 1930’s.
Wonder if he invested with Madoff?

Don’t know a thing about this man or his business. But I hasten to pray for, and offer condolences to, his family and friends. My grandfather died the same way over 50 years ago, self-inflicted gunshot, and I know first hand how long it takes the family to get over such a death.
I realize every person and family has to grieve and recover from such an experience in their own way and at their own pace, but my heart goes out to them.
At least there is one heartfelt comment among the crass messages here.
The fact he was in real estate answered enough for me.
That's a LOT of suicides in the last few weeks. I wonder how many from real estate,madoff etc, we don't hear about?
Kill the guy and put the body in a place where the forensics department stinks.
Smells like Ft Marcy Park to me.
I’ve seen how badly a suicide impacts the surviving family members, and if this was in fact a suicide, it was a terribly selfish act.
