HOUSTON — Enron Corp. founder and former CEO Kenneth Lay, who was convicted for his role in one of the largest instances of business fraud in U.S. history, died of coronary artery disease and there was no evidence of foul play, according to a forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy.

Mesa County Coroner Robert Kurtzman told reporters in a televised news conference in Grand Junction, Colo., Wednesday that his preliminary examination showed clogged coronary arteries to be the cause of death. Lay died hours earlier on Wednesday while vacationing at a rental home near Aspen.

Lay was awaiting an Oct. 23 sentencing for his convictions in the Enron collapse and was expected to face a lengthy prison term.

The Coroner said Ken Lay had an additional heart attack before the massive heart attack.

He loaded up his pistol with a car running in the garage, and shot himself with a fatal overdose of heart attack.

Will Liberals demand that he be dug up and have his body incarcerated for the remainder of his sentence?

I'll never believe it was anything but a "Hill Pill"

(And ABC tried to paint Lay/Bush as "best buds" again)

No, It was Sheperd Smith' lead in, on the radio today..."Ken Lay will not spend one day behind bars for his crimes...."

I think it is more likely that they go to court to have him exhumed so they can confirm that he is really dead.

There are those even at FR that are trying to say the same thing. If Bush was such buds with Lay...when Lay called the WH and ask Bush to bail out Enron....don't you think he would have? Of course...Bush said NO NO NO...

If the family is smart, because of the inevitable kook and conspiracy theories that are already emerging about his death (some on this website), they will have him cremated as soon as possible.

Of course, that will be seen by the kooks as evidence of a cover-up.

The wackjobs at the moonbat sites are already saying that either Rove had Lay wacked (because he knew too much) or that Lay is still alive and his death was faked (ala Jack Bauer), etc etc...

Gotta love those wacky libs!

Heard earlier on Fox today that the Feds found nine million dollars that Lay had hidden and that they didn't know existed and confiscated it. THAT can make a heart attack.

The coroner was paid off.

I know because I killed him.

I was hired by Karl Rove.

Aha! But if they bury Ken traditionally, then they'll say that Bush/Rove replaced the body while the real Ken Lay is in the WH dictacting the President's energy policy!
