So why does you subject line say suicide? If you don't want to speculate (something which I can't afford not to do) you call it a shooting, like The Guardian did:

Former Enron executive found shot dead David Teather in New York Saturday January 26, 2002 The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4343688,00.html (...) John (Clifford) Baxter was found by police on a routine patrol in the affluent Houston, Texas, suburb of Sugar Land at about 2.30am yesterday morning. He was alone in his Mercedes and a suicide note was found.
His death deepens the mystery surrounding the collapse of Enron, which has threatened to engulf the Bush administration, left thousands of workers without jobs or savings and could bring down one of the oldest names in the accounting profession, Arthur Andersen.
Baxter, 43, the company's former vice-chairman, was said to have "complained mightily" about the Enron transactions which hid its vast debts in offshore ventures and eventually led to the company's collapse.
Police said yesterday there were no signs of foul play but would not release the contents of the potentially explosive suicide note until an investigation was complete.
Baxter had been identified by congressional investigators as a potential key witness in the efforts to uncover how the spectacular collapse of Enron, once ranked the seventh largest company in the US, came about. He had reported directly to Kenneth Lay, the former chairman and chief executive of Enron who is a friend and financial backer of President Bush. (...)

Man those Houston forensics experts are fast. They find the body at 2.30 and file a report the same day. Of course we can trust the totally corrupt state of Texas to fully investigate this, right?
Looks like hunting seasons for witnesses, with Sharon and Lay bagging the first ones.
