Where is the freaking body!!!

Straight from your article:
"Lay, 64, died Wednesday in Aspen, where he and his wife, Linda, were vacationing. An autopsy found that severe coronary artery disease caused his death."

I guess it was the blind mortician that performed the autopsy.... Oh, I'm sorry, he was paid off... No, no, Ken had a twin brother that died of severe coronary artery disease and they said it was Ken... No, no, it's a big scam and the entire town was paid off!

I am the walrus

When was the last time that a felon "died" and the family was allowed to use their own doctors, and no one but a few get to see the "body" before it is cremated before the funeral?

I don't have any proof. I don't know if he is alive or dead, but the whole thing reeks. Everything is too coincidental. Maybe he took pills and committed suicide, but the fact that all of this stuff plays for the benefit of his family seems so fishy.

They can't take the money from his family anymore either. Punitive damages don't count to "dead" people. Compensary damages do, but the only persons that will take it to Civil Court are people who will only be compensated for the measly amount in their retirement funds after the stock plummeted.

Like I said, something fishy seemed to have happened. What I don't understand is how everyone can be so complacent about the lack of evidence either way, when this guy's (guilty IMO) death is so convenient to the grand scheme of things for his family and possibly himself.

I just want to see a body. The fact that his money can't be taken away now through prosecution, and only compensary damages can be claimed on a "deceased" individual through civil action means that the Lay family will probably be able to keep almost all of the money he stole.

It was a smart move if he really died (committed suicide which I doubt because he was a preacher's son) or he faked his death. If he died on accident because of a heart attack, that was almost too fortunate for his family.

What does him being a "Preachers Son" have to do with anything?? He's religous so he won't commit suicide?? Thou shalt not STEAL.
