JW Seeks Data on Enron "Suicide" On January 25, 2003, former Enron executive Cliff Baxter was found shot in the head in his car with a .38 pistol in his lap. While the death was quickly called a suicide, crime scene photos and other information were never made fully public as is the custom. Judicial Watch, therefore, has asked a court to force a Harris County medical examiner to release the information such that Judicial Watch can investigate the possibility of foul play. "The collapse of Enron and the death of Baxter raise questions," said JW Chairman Larry Klayman. "He was due to testify and we can speculate it would have been information that those involved did not want public." According to the Houston Chronicle, an internal memo from Enron executive Sherron Watkins to former CEO Ken Lay, described Baxter as an individual "who complained mightily…about the inappropriateness" of the company’s transactions with a corporate partner who helped hide the company’s debt and inflate profits. Baxter had resigned from Enron in May 2001. Judicial Watch is currently examining toxicology reports while pushing on the legal front for the release of the rest of the information.
