Autopsy of Enron exec shows drugs

HOUSTON -- A former Enron Corp. executive had taken a pain reliever, an anti-depressant and a sleeping aid before he shot himself to death after the company's collapse, an autopsy report released Thursday said.

The report said former Enron vice chairman J. Clifford Baxter shot himself in the right temple.

Also Thursday, Jeff Skilling, who quit as Enron's chief executive before the company's implosion, testified before a House subcommittee that Baxter thought the fallout from the Enron collapse had devastated his reputation.

Skilling said he last spoke to Baxter, 43, just over a week before Baxter was found dead in his black Mercedes-Benz in an affluent Houston suburb.
