Ken Lay... RIP?

My friend Scott wrote about the death of Kenneth Lay, former Enron executive. His post is thoughtful and thought-provoking, however, I can't help but wonder... Is Ken Lay really dead?

Think about it: is there a more likely candidate to fake his own death? And since he died before sentencing, is his estate safe from paying for his crimes? This could be a very elaborate scheme, complete with a wax body for the wake, or just a closed-casket funeral. How many coroners would be willing to take a couple hundred thousand to create a death certificate?

If his wife suddenly decides the Texas house just isn't home without Ken, packs up and moves to the Cayman Islands, I'll be very suspicious...
