Enron’s Kenneth Lay Dead after Heart Attack

HOUSTON - Enron Corp. founder Ken Lay, who was convicted last month of fraud and conspiracy for his part in the Houston-based company' collapse into bankruptcy in 2001, has died of a heart attack at his vacation home in Colorado, a Houston television station reported on Wednesday.
KHOU-TV, a CBS affiliate, said Lay suffered a massive heart attack. He was awaiting sentencing later this year and was expected to face a lengthy prison term for his convictions in the Enron collapse.

Call me cynicall if you must. But something makes me wonder if this guy just faked his death to avoid prison time. I mean, if the guy cheated with his business, and messed with numerous people's livelihood without any ambience of guilt, then why would he suddenly stand up and face his fate once sentenced for his crimes? I think, unless we see his body, he's already made his way to a foreign city where he'll live inexile for the rest of his life. Maybe he's hanging out somewhere with Olivia Newton Johns boyfriend. Just a thought.
