Lay's autopsy shows major arterial blocks

If you've been wondering what was going on inside Ken Lay's body — yeah, it's OK, you can admit it — here's your chance to find out: The results of the former Enron chief's autopsy are in, and you can download them. Is the Internet great or what?

Basically, Dr. Robert A. Kurtzman's findings matched the initial report that Lay died of a massive heart attack July 5. He had a more than 90 percent blockage in all three coronary arteries, had lived through at least two previous heart attacks and had two stents. The autopsy report also contains an account of Lay's last few minutes in a vacation home near Aspen, Colo.:

He was last seen alive by his wife at approximately 1 a.m. and had awoken from sleep. According to his wife, they were talking, and he subsequently went into the bathroom. Minutes later she heard a "thump" and when she checked on her husband he was laying unresponsive on the floor following an apparent collapse from the commode.

For all the conspiracy theorists out there, Kurtzman said there was no trauma to Lay's body other than a scrape he apparently got when he collapsed, and toxicology tests turned up nothing unusual. "The manner of death [was] natural," the report says. Oh, and Lay's family and officials all identified the body as his: "The allegations that this is not his body are ludicrous," Kurtzman said.

Come on — you don't really think that'll stop the talk, do you?
