Enron founder and former chairman Kenneth Lay died yesterday of an apparent heart attack, while vacationing in Aspen. The convicted felon was to be sentenced in October after being found guilty in late May of six counts of conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud.
Even during his trial, when his insanely decadent lifestyle was exposed -- including his purchase of a $200,000 yacht for his wife's birthday soiree while concurrently over $100 million in debt -- Lay was reportedly "irritable and combative," maintaining his innocence despite the mountains of evidence presented by prosecutors. You can catch Houstonist's fantastic coverage of the whole trial here.

How do we know if he's really dead or just faking it and planning on sipping mai-tais on some island he bought in the south pacific for the remainder of his years?
the thought did cross my mind
Yeah, with Jim Morrison and Jimmy Hoffa.
I want to see the body.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that thought. I was worried that I had watched too much "Alias."
We got to see AL-Zarqawi's body -- let's see Lay's. Give us the proof.
The next time you hear from some hippie love-child that the universe eventually rewards bad karma appropriately, just remember that Ken Lay died IN HIS VACATION HOME, before ever receiving one single solitary act of man-love in the Pound-Ken-Lay-And-Other-Enron-Execs-In-The-Ass-Prison.
I want to EAT the body. It's probably full of misappropriated funds and raw energy. The eating of Ken Lay shall make us stronger, fitter warriors.
Massive coronary? Don't these guys have "Cadillac health-care plans?" You'd think a doctor would've noticed during his semi-annual physical that his arteries were clogged like the toilets at Salvation Army. Like you guys, I want to see the body.
