Death Investigation Of Chesapeake Energy’s Aubrey McClendon Finds No Suicide Evidence

McClendon’s Chevy Tahoe slammed into a concrete bridge one day after he was indicted for violating anti-trust laws.

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Oklahoma City police said on Tuesday an inquiry found no evidence suggesting oilman Aubrey McClendon committed suicide when he died in a fiery crash in March, but acknowledged his state of mind at the time of the accident was unknowable.

McClendon‘s Chevy Tahoe slammed into a concrete bridge abutment on March 2, one day after federal prosecutors indicted him for violating anti-trust laws by rigging bids for oil lands. He had denied the charges.

Details of the crash, in which his vehicle was driving well above the speed limit at 88 miles (142 km) per hour, stunned the U.S. energy industry. Many executives worried he had committed suicide.

“Our investigators found no information that would compel us to believe this was anything other than a car accident,” police Captain Paco Balderrama said.

Not surprised, the man was an authentic American cowboy and wildcatter.  Live hard, die young, and leave a good looking corpse.  McClendon was brash, irresponsible, impulsive and incredibly successful.  Not surprised that he would die driving into a concrete abutment while ranting on his cell phone. Somehow I think he would likely not have had it end any other way.
