As you know, he was convicted for his involvement in the Enron scandal and throughout the trial Lay declared his innocence. However, unlike Skilling (a co-conspirator), Lay had not filed an appeal and rumors indicated that he would not file an appeal. A "death" at this point clears his name because a death before the the extinction of a criminal appeal period sets aside and permanently vacates the conviction. Obviously he was not currently imprisoned, so by "dying" now, he also avoid pmita prison time. Therefore, this was the perfect opportunity in time for him to "die."
Finally - motive. One motive for his "death" is that it makes it more likely to for his family and "widow" to retain the family fortune.
As if means, opportunity and motive were not enough, its odd that the autopsy was completed before the end of the first business day following his death. Here is the official announcement. Also, why was the autopsy performed in Grand Junction and not Aspen. Why was it performed by D

We here at Americans for Equal Justice feel strongly that the possibility exists that Mr. Lay, like Hitler, Elvis, and Tupac before him, has faked his own death in order to avoid any more unwanted public scrutiny.

You are right on the money on this one, Tom. How covenient. What a perfect ending to a messy situation. What you said about the family fortune (probably huge insurance benefits) is probably true too.
When this came out yesterday, I thought it was probably a suicide. But today it hit me. What a brilliant move on his part. And we know that the Bush family would never leave him out to dry. He's their Kenny Boy, one of their own. The sentencing date was set for 9/11, I heard, and that is the tell of who's controlling this.

I'm not sure if he faked his death or committed suicide, either one would make sense. At least he "died" before 2010 when the estate tax would not be in effect at all....

He was good at lying and cooking accounting books at Enron. Why not go for the icing on the cake and cook (or fake) his own "death".

You know, I was thinking the same thing...seems too coincidental! He's probably hiding on some island by now.

I have pondered this, i believe he had enough friends in high places, that it is very possible....
we will never know, so now begins a myth that will live on forever!
sounds like a good movie plot!
