Now this really adds a new level of curiosity to the details surrounding Ken Lay’s sudden death:

A British banker who was questioned by U.S. authorities in connection with the Enron scandal has been found dead, British media said Wednesday. The man’s body was found Tuesday in a park in east London, but police declined to identify him.

The Royal Bank of Scotland, however, sent condolences to the family of Neil Coulbeck, one of the bank’s senior employees who had been questioned by the FBI in the case of three British bankers facing Enron-related fraud charges. The British Broadcasting Corp. and other media outlets also identified the man as Coulbeck, 53.

Police would not immediately say how he died, but homicide officers were investigating — standard procedure on all suspicious deaths.

The FBI said it would not comment on any aspect of the case. A formal identification was expected Thursday, police said.

The do need to make sure that Lay is actually in that coffin and that he actually died of a massive heart attack, and that this is not some “made for Hollywood” style plot.
