Body of Enron's Lay to be cremated

[mourningdove92]

HOUSTON (Reuters) -- The body of Enron Corp. founder Ken Lay will be cremated and his ashes buried in Aspen, Colo., where he died this week of an apparent heart attack, a newspaper reported Friday.

The Houston Chronicle, quoting a source close to Lay's family, said the cremation and Aspen burial had been Lay's wish because the mountain town, where he once owned several properties, was his favorite place in the world.

anyone surprised at this?

[dave29]

1. the roots of aspen

will certainly turn now

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Looking more like Kenny Boy is on an island somewhere laughing at

us.

[trogdor]

7. Or someone has something to hide.

Perhaps some evidence of something else, perhaps asphyxiation, a bullet, or some other cause of death other than that registered on his death certificate. I've been keeping a running tab on this story as it develops at http://www.republicansareidiots.com.

[cyberpj]

9. I thought Olbermann said there would be toxicology reports?

Does that mean an autopsy?

[lonestarnot]

12. Autopsy done, toxicology reports not back yet.

[ShockediSay]

55. yaThink he stopped his heart meds to beat his creditors/employees

yaThink he stopped his heart meds to beat his creditors/employees one more time?

He had a previous heart attack, reportedly.

So, he figures, why serve all that time in the slammer and lose that filthy lucre, when I can just stop taking my heart meds, maybe.

The same suspicion arose in the case of Milosevic.

[lonestarnot]

58. I don't know, but a heart attack has to be better than life in the pen.

:rofl:

[Tight_rope]

36. Now I know for sure that that motherfucker ain't died!

[smtpgirl]

63. Here, here, I have that belief too!!!

[goforit]

56. Hmmm...... Wouldn't it be cool to go on a Kenny Lay hunt?

Boy, If I had a Billion dollars to blow, I'd blow it
on finding this Son of a Bitch!

[thereismore]

3. cheap family. can't even afford a casket. nt

[skiddlybop]

5. Wow...wonder if it's a coincidence that

he is the FIRST in his family ever to be cremated....

[Bonobo]

4. What does his religion usually do? Aren't they more the mausoleum type?

[Bridget Burke]

21. United Methodist--they do allow cremation.

The Roman Catholic Church even allows it now.

But Ken Lay's social set in Houston favors big honking mausoleums--perhaps in Glenwood Cemetery, where Howard Hughes was buried.

[Bonobo]

25. Thanks for the info. That's what I figured. Lends credence to tin-foil...

[sweetheart]

6. what kind of cremation, electric, gas, oil or wood?

There might be a shortage, and he'll have to self-cremate, death's twists.

[Tight_rope]

38. You are so right...there is too much of a shortage to waste any on Kenboy!

[loveable liberal]

8. to cover the fact he ate a gun.

No dirt nap for kenny. oh well...wonder what I should have for lunch?

[havocmom]

17. Or went to some beach

after some plastic surgery

No DNA for any would-be investigators. How convenient.

[bullimiami]

10. someone with the capability shoud research if he had a plot

or any previous plans before his untimely 'death'.

[0007]

11. Who was the last person to see "Kenny Boy" alive and where?

[unda cova brutha]

16. he is still alive.

don't buy into this b.s. that he is dead.

[valerief]

19. Well, he could have been whacked by those threatened by his

knowledge. Remember, he came from a poor family, not a silver spoon one. He's dispensable.

[0007]

23. I'm leaning that way.......

[ladjf]

26. My guess is that he is indeed dead. But, that wasn't his plan.

He knew too much about where the "skeletons were hidden", particularly about the CIA offshore groups.
I never thought that he would be prosecuted. However, from a cover up standpoint, it has worked out perfectly for the administration. They seem to have outstanding luck regarding the untimely deaths of potentially damaging testimony.

[smtpgirl]

64. Oh, a Marilyn Monroe type death?

Fascinating, that is an angle too.

Ken Lay was an inept, unscruplous, unethical crook, be dead

[crossroads]

53. I agree... n/t

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

35. Calling James Baker...

... we want your phone records of the last 24 months.

[acmavm]

13. This is like every cliche in every murder mystery ever written.

Mystery death right at the most opportune time. No funeral, cremation. The guy absconded with shitloads of other people's money when he was alive.

I mean, who wrote this thing.

[valerief]

18. I told a guy I work with this was like all the 1940's noir movies,

and he said I was ridiculous. But, then, he reads Drudge every day.

[acmavm]

29. I understand that everytime you pull up Drudge on your

computer 100,000 brain cells commit suicide.

[Junkdrawer]

30. I posted this on my GD cremation thread...

They couldn't make this more suspicious if they...well, I guess they could have tried the old "he fell overboard and his body was never found" trick. But, aside from that....

[smtpgirl]

65. See, you have hit the ding. ding, ding!!

Why does this bastard get off when he is dead.

I know if I died today, there would be flies on shit just waiting to put my accounts in a collection status, why can't Ken Lay's????????????

[OhioChick]

14. How Convenient. n/t

[Up2Late]

15. I sure hope Giraldo Rivera will be there with cameras rolling...

...or maybe it should be "Pay per View!"

I still want actual pictures, but a video of his cremation would work too, short of that, this looks much too convenient.

[NYC]

31. In case you missed it:

NY Post front page, Thursday, July 6, 2006, Cheato Lay.

[Up2Late]

32. Thanks, Yes I did. I'm not much of a NY Post reader...

...but I might have to look this one up to see what they are saying about him.

[NYC]

33. I saw it on the street yesterday.

I guess I should have bought one. Didn't even think of it.

I just love that front page.

[Up2Late]

40. Check this out, I guess the NY Post is as bored with these Terror plots...

...as the rest of us, it didn't even make the cover today:



They went with the "Train Saw Psycho" instead.

<http://www.nypost.com/>

[NYC]

47. I give them credit.

I'll have to deliberately watch for the headlines from now on. I pass several news vendors, so it won't take much effort, and I'm beginning to think it's worth it. :)

[superconnected]

72. His first name is CHEAT???? Is that his real name?

[NYC]

76. Cheetoh Lay, the corn chip company, or something.

Cheato Lay = Ken Lay, who CHEATED.

I thought that was clever of the Post.

[bluestateguy]

20. I hope there are protestors at his funeral

I dance on his grave.

[Bridget Burke]

22. You'll have to go to Colorado to dance on his grave.

Look for the yellow snow!

[shain from kane]

24. Couldn't remove all the shotgun pellets to make it presentable. Traced to

an Italian shotgun.

[RCinBrooklyn]

27. It's the billionaire's version of the witness protection program. He lives

[JudyM]

28. Up in smoke, like the retirement funds of so many of his employees and

investors...

Poetic irony.

:nuke:

[infogirl]

34. they cremate fast...when they don't want us to ever see

what really happened. Do the people here really believe in the "autopsy report" our corrupt at every level government puts out? Wake up..you are in a "fog"

[mvd]

37. Not surprised

Who knows what is what in Bush's bizarro world..

[zbdent]

39. Probably going to have a small ceremony for family and CLOSE friends

(meaning W ...)

cremation so that people can't piss on his tombstone ... like Repukes would love to do to JFK, if it weren't under guard ...

[daleo]

41. Has anyone seen a picture of the corpse?

Just who identified the body? If poster boards were needed for Usey and Uday, why not Kenlay?

[yurbud]

67. I thought of Uday and Qasay's bodies too. Did Lay have any implants...

that can be torn out for proof, like Uday's leg plate?

[KamaAina]

42. Almost as smooth as killing someone with a frozen leg of lamb

then broiling and serving the murder weapon to the investigating officer. No evidence, no trial, no worries.

:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

[Megahurtz]

43. That even makes it MORE suspicious!

ROFLMAO:rofl:

Yup, new identity, new life, umbrella drink in hand,
sitting under the palm trees viewing his luxury yacht........:rofl:

What a rough life it's been for ya, "Kenny Boy!!!!!".........:rofl::sarcasm:

:tinfoilhat:

[Sadie5]

44. Just perhaps?

Kenny Boy was injected with the drug which stops the heart beating and paralysis body. I've seen it on forensic files a million times. Not easy to detect in autopsy.

[Up2Late]

51. Hey, you forgot, NEW HAIR!

Jet Black I would guess...

Hey, we should have a Photoshop contest! :think:

What's Ken Lay gonna look like after he flees the Country?

[Zorra]

45. No Christian burial?..So, what's the difference between Ken lay and Elvis?

I really did see Ken Lay at el mercado this morning.

[Emillereid]

46. The fraud is SO obvious!

There has got to be an investigation! DNA tests! The works!

[Delphinus]

48. Noooooooooooo!

They can't do this - I want someone not connected to Washington or the BFEE to see his body. I want them to confirm in no uncertain terms that this is him. Otherwise, I'll never be convinced he's dead. No way, no how.

[goforit]

57. Well, start looking for the bastard.

[NorthernSun]

49. 'apparent' heart attack?

Many things can stop a heart. I'll wait for the autopsy.
What, no autopsy either?

[niallmac]

50. Me? Ken Lay? Nahhhh. I had a heart attack dontchya know. n/t

[crossroads]

52. That Figures... Will there be some DNA tests???

IT would quell the rumors that this is Lay's way to escape true justice and keep all the $! I feel this much is owed to his happless victims... CR

[DrZeeLit]

54. Oh, Quell Surprise! Can you say..... Witness Protection Programmmmme?

Bush pardon?
Secret Swiss Account?
Ole Olay?

Cremated? What a crock.

[yurbud]

68. this is what will happen if Bush & Cheney are impeached.

Although it would be funny if they were caught sipping pina coladas with Osama by a pool in Saudi when the royal family is finally overthrown.

[meow2u3]

59. Kenny Boy's body will burn just like his twisted soul is doing now

:evilgrin:

[Strelnikov_]

60. "Death Solves All Problems - No Man, No Problem"

- Joseph Stalin

[unkachuck]

61. this is all way too convenient....n/t

[smtpgirl]

62. hopefully you can't burn the proof

Give back to the people what is rightfully STOLEN from them, take this case to court if you can, post humously. Make Ken Lay do the right thing

[Up2Late]

66. Here's my vision of Kennie-boy's new "look!"

Can you Dig it?

[nolabels]

70. Didn't he play on the mod-squad?

:rofl:

[barb162]

69. I'm surprised he died

It wasn't like he was fat or something or couldn;t afford medical care.

[superconnected]

71. I'm betting he's in south america.

[Tellurian]

73. Right- Brazil is the plastic surgery capital of the world..

Kenny was down for a face transplant.

No matter- Sooner or later Kenny will resurface with his new

'faz de chien' and his wife by his side.

[Junkdrawer]

74. Perhaps that would explain Ken's enigmatic last words to the paramedics...

"I knew I shouldn't have entered that look-alike contest.".... ;)

[LongTomH]

75. Ken, Baby, I wouldn't worry about being cremated......

....if I had your chances!
