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.
