Do you believe Ken Lay really died or is he hiding out in some other country?

He either died of faked his death to spend his remaining days posting on democratic underground...

No one here knows enough about this to say anything other than what we read in the papers.

And there is already a dead Lay thread.

Why would he do that?

Now where's Uncle Patrick when you need him?

Of course he wouldn't fake his own death.

IMO what I think Ken Lay did was kill himself by taking lots of his medications from various conditions and then stopping cold turkey all drugs to kill himself.

You can easily die from that and the toxicology would never show and drugs in the system to any odd level.

I know someone last year who was in great pain and took lots of vicoden (sp?). He ran out of his prescription early and killed himself in a three day withdrawal at home. (that was dumb dumb dumb)

Could be Ken Lay did that or that he died from all the pressure and his old age.
There is no way he is alive and I am sure authorities probed the dead body to be sure.

Oh, sorry, I thought you referred to the other part.

DU is famous for wild conspiracy theories, the type you would hear on Art Bell's show on a Saturday night.
They are a humorous read.

My favorite was the race for the Mexican President.
They had the conspiracy that there was a fix, when in fact the vote was mostly counted first in the communist challenger's areas of power.
When the fellow who won the race originally won by 250k (a half percent) they wet themselves because the communist failed to win and there were all kinds of conspiracy theories again there.

They are consistent at being wacky IMO and are a blast to read.

Okay, that clears that up. When I saw DEMOCRATIC Underground my initial thought was that it WOULD take death to make Lay post there or all places.
