Just a few days since being indicted for rigging bids, the former CEO of CHK, a once force to be admired in the American oil boom, was found dead in an apparent car accident.
It looks like a suicide, according to police on the scene. Aubrey’s Tahoe caught fire after speeding and crashing into a wall.
Capt Balerrama of OK city said: “He pretty much drove straight into the wall.” No one else was hurt during the accident.
Condolences to his family.

he was guilty and knew it. oh well.
Wow, totally surprised by this. I can still hear Cramer saying his name back in the day, almost worshiped the guy. Shame.
just goes to show ya….
There are no pockets in one’s last pair of pants with which to take one’s hoard into the death-life of the other world.
Just like the Bre-X geologist jumping out of the ‘copter in Indonesia just before they discovered the “salting” of the samples.
Of course Mark Twain called it when he said a mine is “a hole in the ground owned by a liar.”
I question the “jumping” and think it may well have been “throwing”.
They never could identify his body for the rot. And it wasnt that long after they found him in the jungle.
I always thought the story would be a good movie.
he made nat gas what it is today
Very sad.
The only thing you take with you when you go is love; why it is so hard to feel is beyond me and I’m a bloody root vegetable.
As for Mr. McClendon, there is no easy way to die…particularly if you wish to preserve the insurance payout to your loved ones. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Amen.
The 99.99% don’t realize it, but life is tough for billionaires.
Remember the time he sold his map collection to CHK shareholders…
Condolences
Agreed about the family. Grandkids especially, who know nothing, just feeling the pain.
Poor Audrey bilked Americans for billions of dollars as he hyperonflated the price of Nat gas last decade. The poor woman couldn’t take adversity. He won’t be missed.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6, always.
