Enron founder Ken Lay dies of massive heart attack

This news was surprising:
Kenneth Lay, founder and vilified former chairman of scandal-ridden Enron
Corp., died of a heart attack Wednesday morning. He was 64.
UPDATE:
Cyberjournalist.net reports that Lay's death prompted some confusion on Wikipedia:
"The death of former Enron chief Ken Lay on Wednesday underscored the challenges facing online encyclopedia Wikipedia, which as the news was breaking offered a variety of causes for his death," Reuters reported today. At one point, the site -- which is written and edited by users -- said "the guilt of ruining so many lives finaly [sic] led him to his suicide."
