As the top creative executive at advertising agency DDB's Chicago office, Paul L. Tilley oversaw commercials and campaigns for marquee clients such as Budweiser and McDonald's.

Mr. Tilley was named managing director of creative at DDB in September 2006, nine years after he joined the shop. Over those years, he led creative teams that came up with Dell's "Dude, You're Gettin' a Dell" campaign and advertising in McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" effort.

Mr. Tilley, 40, died on Friday, Feb. 22. The Wilmette resident apparently jumped from an upper floor of the Fairmont Chicago Hotel Friday, and his death was ruled a suicide by the Cook County medical examiner's office.

More TB found at Sears headquarters

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Two more workers at the suburban Chicago headquarters of Sears Holdings Corp. have tested positive for tuberculosis, a report said Wednesday.

The discovery comes after employees of the Cook County Health Department conducted TB tests on 40 people who worked with a Sears employee who was treated for the disease, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Health department spokeswoman Kitty Loewy says it would be inaccurate to think that tuberculosis is spreading at Sears since people who travel frequently or those born outside the United States can have dormant TB for years.

Loewy says the woman discovered to have tuberculosis responded to drugs and is back at work.
