Police Say Former Enron Executive Commits Suicide

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Former Enron Corp. vice chairman J. Clifford Baxter committed suicide on Friday, found with a gunshot wound to his head, Texas police said.

Sugar Land police department spokeswoman Patricia Whitty said Baxter was found inside his car early on Friday with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head, and a suicide note at his side. There were no apparent signs of foul play, she said.

Enron confirmed the death in a statement.

``We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, Cliff Baxter,'' the Enron statement said.

Baxter was vice chairman of the collapsed energy trader when he resigned in May 2001. He lived in Sugar Land, a suburb on Houston's southwest border.

Yep, he was whacked. It's likely he would have been called to testify and might have spilled the beans about Dubby and Dicky's involvement. Wonder who will be next on their hit list.

I think he was having an affair with Hillary; it's too much like Vince Foster.

Within one day they have already "ruled" that his death was a suicide? LOL, what a JOKE! If it is an airline crash they spend 5 years investigating, and if there is a possibility he was murdered, they have the answer the within one day! Dubya undoubtedly had a conversation with the Houston Police Chief and made sure they got the story "straight".
