Larry's theory seems to be strongly supported by the fact revealed in this morning's Washington Times and NY Post that Myerson's suicide was preceded by that of fellow NY Times financial reporter Agis Salpukas. A Lexis search on "Agis Salpukas" and "Enron" gets 43 hits, many of them articles by Salpukas about the company. The couple of them that I looked at appeared, like Myerson's pieces on Enron, to be puff pieces.

Let's buy the "marriage/money" problems explanation. If Myerson were distraught over that would he have had the energy to get out of bed, clean up, get dressed, commute to downtown Manhattan, go to his place of work and jump off the roof? Or would he have, in solitude, killed himself somewhere else?

Seems to me he wanted to make a point to everyone at the New York Times. Maybe he was just that kind of guy. Or maybe something connected to his work led him to his death.
