Lay’s fault on the right side?

In October 2006, Kenneth Lay, Enron’s founder, CEO and chairman, was cleared of charges after he died of a terrible heart attack 3 months earlier. Lay, who had been found guilty on a multi-million dollar fraud, a massive conspiracy and 10 other worrisome charges in May 2006, was pronounced dead after a heart failure on 5 July. Due to Mister Lay’s death, all charges against him were dropped. He would have been sentenced in October but the jury returned a guilty verdict because he did not had the opportunity to appeal. Since he was facing up to 45 years behind bars, people wonder: “Was his death a fault on the right side?*”.
