She was pronounced dead at 4:02 p.m. Thursday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Crawford faced one count of official misconduct and one county of false impersonation over an incident in August 2016 when a judge in the Markham courthouse allowed her to wear a judicial robe and rule on a few traffic cases from the bench. source
An autopsy was scheduled for Friday.
