Autopsy of Enron's Lay Shows Severe Artery Blockage

Published: July 19, 2006

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Enron's founder Kenneth Lay had severely clogged arteries when he died in Colorado earlier this month while awaiting sentencing for his role in the collapse of the energy company, according to an autopsy report made public on Wednesday.

The autopsy showed that three of Lay's arteries were 90 percent blocked.

The examination was performed by forensic pathologist Robert Kurtzman, who previously told reporters that Lay died of cardiovascular disease.

It also showed that Lay had two stints in his arteries -- small tubes used to prop open arteries. He had also previously suffered two heart attacks.

The report said that Lay had awoken at about 1 a.m. on July 5 at the rented vacation home in Old Snowmass, Colorado, and spoke to his wife, Linda, before going into the bathroom. He was found dead on the bathroom floor....

1. "He was found dead on the bathroom floor...."

good

[Dover]

2. Gosh, they can keep Cheney ticking but not Lay?

I suppose he never went for checkups or was on medication?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

3. a watched pot never boils.

;)

[ShockediSay]

19. Medication? Whose to say whether or not he stopped

his medication as was suspected in the case of Milosevic?

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. He's still dead, isn't he? Heh, heh. I was worried for a minute.

Bye, Ken.

[Cassandra]

5. If they autopsied him....

he's really dead.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Oh my. They're selling him for parts.

[howmad1]

23. C'mon guys, you really think he's dead?

Betcha dollars to donuts they picked up some homeless dude in Houston, killed him dead, autopsied him and found pure butter in his veins. Lay dead? Yeah, right. Any body wanna buy a bridge in Brooklyn?

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

6. My Deepest Condolences....

NOT to his family, but to all the people he DEFRAUDED, and DEFRAUDS even in death.

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. Gee and he looked like the picture of health

If the guy had two prior heart attacks, you think the M$M might have noticed?

[ShortnFiery]

24. If the guy had two prior heart attacks he would have had

bypass surgery and been monitored as close as cyborg, one each, darth Cheney.

No, I don't believe he's dead for one moment. Everything I hear from the M$M I must verify before buying into. The bastard is free, in more ways than one. :grr:

8. Was the autopsy performed before or after the cremation?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

21. I KNEW he ripped off Tammy W. Gill!

Consider me vindicated!

[daleo]

29. That's great

I was think his arteries might have been blocked with an icepick, but a wad of bills is better.

[VegasWolf]

11. From too many years living high on the hog. Nature got the bastard. nt

[Seabiscuit]

12. Shit for blood. Hardened stools. n/t

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. The ultimate black-out

I guess.

[Ecumenist]

14. Sure it does...I

I don't believe he's dead... It's just a bit too convenient, for my taste.

[enid602]

16. This is bullshit.

Lay was the CEO. He was brought back as CEO sometime before the fall of Enron; I can't believe Enron didn't require extensive medical testing of CEO candidates. Unless Lay was really taking poor care of himself in the years since the Enron failure, I find it hard to believe that he could have ended up being so terribly blocked.

[Metta]

17. His heart was blocked for most of his life.

The metaphor of dying from heart blockage is just perfect, given what he did and his attitude.

[ima_sinnic]

18. then why did they say "no history of heart trouble"

at the time of his death? was that a lie, or is this a lie? as usual when talking about the lower "life" forms that have taken over, there is fraud, lying, and coverup involved.

[Thor_MN]

20. Reuters screws up... It's STENTS not stints...

nt

[susanna]

25. Thanks...that bugged me too. n/t

[TankLV]

26. I have 5 - and have seen it spelled "stints" in my reports.

Just my 2 cents.

[DrZeeLit]

22. How easy is it to "buy" autopsy results? Think: who does this serve?

I have such a hard time thinking this guy, on the way to JAIL with a Capital J, just up and died.
He wasn't that old. Supposedly didn't have a history of heart trouble.

And... I've been WAITING for Cheney to kick off, so this was a bit of an unbelievable shocker.

Follow the money.
Who benefits if he's faked his death?
Who benefits if he committed suicide and that's been covered?
Follow the money.

[Tellurian]

27. Yep, yep $ yep...n/t

[Endangered Specie]

28. What is it with con-men dying of diseases of organs they don't have?

Lay, heart.
Reagan, brain.
