All new Fiery Crash Goodness

"Police said they still need to determine an exact cause." How about ... he was going to spend his life savings on his legal defense, still wind up in prison anyway, so he decided to make his suicide look like a car accident so his family would collect the life insurance?

Ex-Chesapeake CEO McClendon dies in car wreck

Aubrey McClendon, a founder and former chief executive of Chesapeake Energy (CHK), died in a single-car crash Wednesday at age 56, a day after he was charged with conspiring to rig bids for oil and natural gas leases.

McClendon crashed into an embankment while traveling at a "high rate of speed" in Oklahoma City just after 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, said Capt. Paco Balderrama of the Oklahoma City Police Department. Flames engulfed McClendon's vehicle "immediately," and it was burnt so badly that police could not tell if he was wearing a seatbelt, he said.

"He pretty much drove straight into the wall," Balderrama said.

Police said they still needed to determine an exact cause.

McClendon — a key player in the U.S. shale boom — co-founded Chesapeake in 1989 and stepped down from the company in 2013. He founded American Energy Partners, where he had served as chief executive.

Yeah, could've tried suicide by cop as well.

I don't know his policy -- meaning I don't know if it'll pay off -- but it's kinda obvious.

Glad no one else was hurt. There are dozens of stories of someone jumping off a building and taking out other people on the ground.

You don't have to fake suicide to collect life insurance unless there is a specific anti-suicide clause (99% do not have this).

Suicide by cop is getting your dumb ass killed while committing a felony and for that they will not pay out.

If your policy is past the period of contestability (2 years) you can go blow your brains out all over the agents desk and they have to pay up.
