Okay Chicago, cut it out!
First a disgruntled employee shooting spree, and now you have gone and killed Santa Claus.

Santa Claus Found Dead In Illinois Home

MUNDELEIN, Ill. -- A northern Illinois man who legally changed his name to Santa Claus in 1997 was found dead Tuesday in his Mundelein-area home.

Born Robert Rion, he officially changed his name after decades of playing Santa. At 6 feet tall and 300 pounds, with a long white beard, the name fit him.

Claus made Christmas appearances across Lake County and operated a year-round hotline so kids could talk to Santa.
