Enron Son Dead - Jailed former Enron boss Jeffrey Skilling's 20-year-old son has been found dead in California, with pills next to his bed after friends reported he was feeling despondent, police said Thursday. John Taylor Skilling's body was found in his apartment in Santa Ana, California, on Tuesday night, after he failed to turn up for dinner with friends, said police spokesman Anthony Bertagna. "They were supposed to meet him for dinner, but he didn't show up. They knew he was despondent over a recent breakup so they went to his apartment," where they found the body, he told AFP. "There were some prescription pills by the individual, but we don't know if he had taken them. We don't know if it's an overdose, suicide or what," he said, adding that there was no signs of violence. Enron Son Dead
