Autopsy of Enron’s Lay Shows Artery Blockage

Enron’s founder Kenneth Lay had severely clogged arteries when he died in Colorado this month while awaiting sentencing for his role in the collapse of the energy company, according to an autopsy report.

The autopsy showed that three of Lay’s arteries were 90% blocked. The examination was performed by forensic pathologist Robert Kurtzman, who previously told reporters that Lay died of cardiovascular disease.

Lay, who was 64, was facing decades in prison. He was due to be sentenced in October.
