Former Enron Official Baxter Kills Self, Police Say (Update1) 2002-01-25 12:19 (New York) Former Enron Official Baxter Kills Self, Police Say (Update1) (Adds police confirmation and Enron Corp. statement in fourth paragraph.) Sugarland, Texas, Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- John Clifford Baxter, former Enron Corp. vice chairman, was found dead early this morning in Sugar Land, Texas, near Houston, according to police. He was found dead in his car with ``an apparent self- inflicted gunshot wound to the head,'' according to a statement emailed by the Sugar Land police department to Bloomberg News. ``Baxter was dead at the scene and the sole occupant of the vehicle. A suicide note was found at the scene. There was no apparent sign of any foul play. Identification found in Baxter's wallet indicated he was an employee of Enron.'' Baxter was one of six Enron directors named as defendants in at least 40 investor lawsuits claiming the company concealed losses that led to Enron's bankruptcy filing. He resigned from the energy trader in May. He was 42 at the time. ``We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, Cliff Baxter,'' Enron said in a faxed statement. ``Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.'' Baxter was vice chairman when he resigned in May. Enron named two successors to Baxter. Joseph Sutton resigned in November and Mark Frevert left the company at the end of December. Baxter was responsible for strategy, including acquisitions and divestitures, spokeswoman Karen Denne said at the time of Baxter's resignation. Baxter was named Enron's chief strategy officer in June 2000. Before that, he was chairman and chief executive of Enron North America.

If you un-ban him I'm sure he'll remind you why you banned him in the first place.
