	The case of Clifford Baxter: more questions raised over alleged suicide of Enron executive
		Baxter was found shot to death in his car in the early morning hours of January 25, a few days after he agreed to testify to Congress.
		This suggests two alternatives: that Baxter was shot on the pavement and then placed in the car to make it look like suicide; or that the body was removed from the car—perhaps in an attempt to resuscitate him—and then, for unknown reasons, put back into the driver’s seat.
		There are unexplained bruises on Baxter’s left hand, together with traces of fl material, which are consistent with him putting out his hand to brace a fall onto asphalt pavement after he was shot in the right temple—a scenario that suggests murder rather than suicide.
