The one-time corporate titan whom President Bush gave the youthful nickname of "Kenny Boy" has succumbed suddenly to mortality.
The unexpected death on Wednesday of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth L. Lay at age 64 came as a blow to many people who would not describe themselves as his friend.
Many who suffered from Enron's scandal-ridden collapse, which Lay stood convicted of aiding, could not help finding some bitter injustice in Lay's death from a heart attack.
Lay was awaiting a sentence that likely would have put him behind bars for the rest of his life. Along with former Enron chief executive Jeffrey K. Skilling, Lay was convicted of fraud and conspiracy for lying to investors about Enron's financial health before its 2001 collapse.
