William Komlo, Fugitive Ex-NFL QB, Killed In Car Crash In Greece: Report

PATRICK WALTERS | March 20, 2009 07:48 PM EST | AP


PHILADELPHIA — A former NFL quarterback who failed to show for sentencing on drunken driving charges nearly four years ago was killed in a car crash in Greece, authorities said, leaving behind an unsolved mystery involving two suspicious fires and years spent on the lam.

The State Department used fingerprints to determine that the victim of Saturday's crash was William "Jeff" Komlo, according to Jim Vito, Chester County's acting chief detective. Vito said he was initially skeptical, concerned because of Komlo's history that he might have faked his own death.

"Even though we heard that he was deceased, the first reaction was that, well, we better make a positive identification," Vito said.

Once the State Department verified the fingerprints were those of the 52-year-old fugitive, Vito was satisfied.

"As far as we're concerned, we're closing this now."

1. Was he drunk?

Perhaps his karma caught up with him....

2. Just to let people know, not just a DWI charge but also

He was also facing charges of cocaine possession and assault, and police wanted to question him about possible arson of his homes in West Palm Beach and Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.
