BAXTER, 43, WAS vice chairman of Enron when he resigned in May 2001, several months before the energy company�s collapse. Police in the Houston suburb, Sugar Land, said he was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head early Friday.
�We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, Cliff Baxter. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends,� the company said in a statement.
Enron spokesman Mark Palmer had no additional comment.

Baxter�s body was found at 2:23 a.m. local time Friday in between two medians in a residential area in Sugar Land. He was in the driver�s seat of the vehicle and a police officer stopped to check on him after noticing the parked car.
The officer discovered what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Baxter�s head.
Jim Richard, a Fort Bend County justice of the peace, ruled Baxter�s death a suicide mid-morning Friday.
�We don�t have any other indication other than it being suicide,� said Sugar Land police Capt. David Marcaurele.
Baxter had joined Enron in 1991 and was chairman and CEO of Enron North America prior to being named chief strategy officer for Enron Corp. in June 2000 and vice chairman in October 2000, the company said.
