Ken Lay, Former Enron Chair, Dead?
Drudge is reporting that Ken Lay has died of a heart attack this morning... No word on the newswires as yet, but it is sure to come. Unless there has been a serious misunderstanding.

UPDATE: The details. From NPR, the Ken Lay timeline. And...the rehabilitative eulogies begin.

All sympathies, of course go out to the Lay family, who are no-doubt hurting right now.

What is sad is the amount of misinformation on the Internet. Shortyly after his death, Wikipedia had text saying that it was suicide. How very sad.

Hi there. Anyone unfamiliar with the Ken Lay / Wikipedia / Sucide story can read about it here:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060705/wr_nm/enron_lay_wikipedia_dc_2

It can be troublesome to search for reliable info on the web, because so much of what is written is blind wish fulfillment, rather than fact or even reliable analysis.

The good news is, at least for Wikipedia's reliability, that the "Ken Lay Suicide" entry was discovered and corrected inside of six minutes.

On another note, thanks for visiting, commenting.
