Body of Enron's Lay to be cremated
Family will hold private service in Colorado on Sunday.

HOUSTON (Reuters) -- The body of Enron Corp. founder Ken Lay will be cremated and his ashes buried in Aspen, Colo., where he died this week of an apparent heart attack, a newspaper reported Friday.
The Houston Chronicle, quoting a source close to Lay's family, said the cremation and Aspen burial had been Lay's wish because the mountain town, where he once owned several properties, was his favorite place in the world.
Lay will be buried in Aspen, his favorite place in the world.
The Lay family will hold a private service in Aspen on Sunday for the one-time corporate an who became a convicted felon, followed by another service in Houston on Wednesday, the newspaper said.
Lay, 64, died Wednesday while on vacation in Aspen. Following an autopsy by the local coroner, his death was attributed to a massive heart attack caused by coronary artery disease.
Results of toxicology tests are not expected for about three weeks, officials said.
Lay was convicted of fraud and conspiracy charges in May for his role in the demise of Enron, a power trading giant that collapsed into bankruptcy in 2001 in a huge financial scandal that cost investors and employees billions of dollars.
He was free on $5 million bond while awaiting sentencing on Oct. 23, along with former Enron chief executive and fellow defendant Jeff Skilling.
They were expected to be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison.
Combined, the two men were convicted of 29 criminal charges in a four-month trial that capped the federal government's five-year effort to prosecute Enron executives.
Skilling, who also is free on bond, is still set for the October sentencing date.
Lay and his wife Linda owned four properties in Aspen, but sold them for a total of $24 million as their financial problems mounted after the fall of Enron.
They were staying in a rented vacation home at the time of Lay's death.

How nobody believes this dude is dead. I bet at least half of us, without prompting, immediately thought "yeah, surrrrre" when we heard the news.
Shoog, it's just too conveeeeeeeenient. The timing. The fact that all charges have been dropped since he was never sentenced. The fact that CIA Poppy Bush is his best friend. Everything.
Also since he's been "cremated", no chance to exume the body.
Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.
There may be ashes in Aspen. They're not Ken Lay's.
Unbelievable, the guy responsible for investors and employees losing billions of dollars and for bringing down one of the largest accounting firms, dies while he's on vacation in Aspen??? I love our justice system sometimes.Lay, 64, died Wednesday while on vacation in Aspen.
Don't you, though? And, he's free of all charges because he was never sentenced and is now "dead". So, if he should turn up "undead" at some point in the future, there would be nothing anyone could do about it. If he should...I'm just saying.
The "Ken Lay is Alive" conspiracy theory is silly, and distracts from the far more likely "Ken Lay Committed Suicide to protect His Family" theory.
That distracts from the "CIA Killed Ken to Protect the Bushes and half of Congress" theory.
Uh uh. Too damned convenient. And cremating the body. No one can ever prove that he's dead...or not dead. If they had let me near the body with a hatpin before this "cremation", I might have bought it. But, as it is...not so much. Too damned convenient.
Poppy would never have allowed that. He'd have brought him a file in a cake in prison before he would have allowed anyone in our government to harm a hair on his buddy's head. Nah.
I wonder who Poppy's going to have lunch with now on Thursdays at the River Oaks Country Club? Poor Poppy.
