Hell no I don't feel sorry for them. They are sitting pretty. As far as his death goes that was peculiar. I don't know what happened and I am suspicious something else happened as well.

I'm not sure his death was the result of suicide. More like he was just a heartbeat away from an infarction. Type-A personality, stress, etc.
At any rate, at the end of the Bush Baby's term, Lay would have been pardoned by the Little Prince, so it's really a "neither here nor there" scenario.
If he did get to prison it would have been a hardship to be certain: only one golf course to play, having to wait for a tennis court, no private lap pools...you know those types of "prisons" to which the rich, famous and friends of The Empire are sent.
Nah. It was bloodsludge that got him.
I feel for anyone who has lost someone they loved. Grief knows no socio-economic boundaries.

No i don't think he killed himself. Yes i do feel sorry for the Lays. The actions of one man, however terrible, should not also be pinned on the rest of the family if they were not involved. Put yourself in one of the family members shoes. Is it still not a sad day for that family member? For a son, a wife, or a daughter? They knew him as a father and husband, not as a thief. Do i feel sorry for him, no. For the family, again i still say yes.

I don't know that he killed himself, but I DO think that there are some pretty fishy circumstances surrounding this whole situation. Actually, I do feel sorry for his family. It was not them who made the decisions that he made. Also, they just lost someone (whether they really cared for his morals or not) in their family, and it's just wrong to say you don't feel for them for that. I do think that they have the responsibility to return the money that that he would've had to repay had he still been alive. We'll see how it plays out, and then maybe I will change my mind, but right now I feel that it is wrong to judge them.

No, heart disease can take years to kill you.
I'll feel sorry for the Lays the minute they return all the money Kenneth Lay took from hundreds of thousands of people. That would signal, to me, that they had a genuine understanding of the severity of what he did.

No, i dont think he killed himself. I do feel sorry for his family, because they are not responsible for what he did. I am sure they are grieving his death just the same as you would if someone you loved died.
One the otherhand, he was an asshole. Death was probably the best thing that could have happened to him considering he was facing serious prison time. He would have died in the greybar hotel.

I doubt he killed himself. I think he was too egotistical to do something like that. Besides, he could delay going to prison and Bush would have pardoned him anyway so he wasnt going to do much time. I do not feel sorry for the Lay family. I do feel sorry for all of the hardworking people who lost their pensions and investments because of his theft.

I"m not sure, but it looks strange. Still, the media talks about all those "poor people" who lost their life savings with so much stock in their own company. Well shame on them! Diverisity people. Don't stake your whole life on one company.
I do feel sympathy for the Lay family. No matter who you are, it still hurts to lose a family member.

My gut feeling is that his death was not entiirely natural. However, like many other cunundrums of history, we will probably never know for sure.
As for feeling sorry, I do feel sorry for them. They have lost a loved one. However, similar to what a previous writer wrote, it would go an awful long way for them to return the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of houses, cars, villas & whatnots, to a fund for the individuals trully affected by the Enron scandal.

I think the stress of the idea of going to jail , and meeting up with some big guy looking for a bit of revenge for his grand mother who lost her life savings over this thief ,, gave him a heart attack and he took the easy way out , no one called 911. Or perhaps he took some pill to induce a heart attack , so he could die , and his family could keep all the assets he stole from all the grannies out there.

I feel that the stress of a prison sentnce was just too much for the man. A heart attact is something that you can't fake with all the medical tests done at autopsy's today. We are not to judge him for his wrongdoings, the Bible even tell us not to judge. I do feel empathy for his family; for no matter what he did or didn't do, they still loved him. I am sorry for their loss. That is my opinion, for whatever it's worth.
