CNBC notes the apparent cause of death of the recently popular BP skeptic, and founder of oil company Simmons & Co., was a heart attack. A conflicting report according to WLBZ (http://ht.ly/2mXup) cites the source of death as drowning.

NORTH HAVEN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Knox County Sheriff's Department says Matthew Simmons, the founder of the Ocean Energy Institute, drowned at his house on North Haven late Sunday night.

Simmons was a leading investment banker for the energy industry and had recently retired to work full time on the new Ocean Energy Institute.

He was a leading proponent of offshore wind power and had started raising money to develop and build offshore turbines.

He and his family had also bought and rebuilt the Old Strand Theater in downtown Rockland.

"Tony Hayward (and two large unidentified men) were seen leaving the residence wearing soaking wet business suits before the body was discovered." ;)

He must be pretty corrupt to be involved in that. Perhaps his shady dealings have caught up with him.

not necessarily.....

Those heart attacks, strokes, and car accidents are awfully convenient, aren't they?

And those cases where the guys cut off their own head, arms, and legs, and the cops rule it a "suicide."

Yep.

Thanks for posting this. The news elsewhere reported that he had died of a heart attack ....

Amazing that they have autopsy results in less then 5 hours to determine a heart attack

[Cowlesy]

Wow.

Boy that's awfully convenient. First, he was pushed out of the firm he founded as his opinion on the gulf oil leak widely diverged from his colleagues two months ago or so.

Now, he has a heart attack?

Sure, people do have heart attacks all of a sudden, but............................I don't know, sounds pretty fishy.

Latest is he had a heart attack in a hot tub. If I were his wife, I would get my own autopsy done and or have my own person in attendance. It smells fishy.

Now Ted Stevens who got 1M from BP goes down in a plane in Alaska. Just amazing he is in a plane owned by a cable co and going to their lodge in their plane. A free trip? Someone needs to question that if he has survived. Is he still on the take? He was convicted of that prior.

Damn, the world just lost one of the most knowledgeable and prominent critics of the oil industry. It is awfully convenient for a lot world rulers that he's gone...
