The msnbc news alert has yet to go off on this, yet the local morning show just signed off with the breaking news that someone in the "case" has committed suicide.
I've got it on FOX TV NEWS right now, yet nothing has been reported.
Anyone else hear this yet?

Haven't heard anything about it yet. Exactly who committed suicide? Was it one of the people in the hot seat that had to testify? Keep us updated.
Per MSNBC: Former Vice Chairman, Cliff Baxter, was found by police with a suicide note, in his car. They are not clear if he was apart of the group who would be testifying. They are not saying how he died.

Ex-Enron vice chair commits suicide
J. Clifford Baxter found dead of gunshot wound to the head
MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Jan. 25 — Former Enron Vice Chairman J. Clifford Baxter was found dead in his car in a Houston suburb Friday. Texas police said the cause of death was suicide.
BAXTER, 43, WAS vice chairman of Enron when he resigned in May 2001, several months before the energy company’s collapse. Police in the Houston suburb, Sugar Land, said he was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head early Friday.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, Cliff Baxter. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends,” the company said in a statement.
Enron spokesman Mark Palmer had no additional comment.

Baxter’s body was found at 2:23 a.m. local time Friday in between two medians in a residential area in Sugar Land. He was in the driver’s seat of the vehicle and a police officer stopped to check on him after noticing the parked car.
The officer discovered what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Baxter’s head.
Jim Richard, a Fort Bend County justice of the peace, ruled Baxter’s death a suicide mid-morning Friday.
“We don’t have any other indication other than it being suicide,” said Sugar Land police Capt. David Marcaurele.
Baxter had joined Enron in 1991 and was chairman and CEO of Enron North America prior to being named chief strategy officer for Enron Corp. in June 2000 and vice chairman in October 2000, the company said.

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Former Enron Corp. vice chairman J. Clifford Baxter committed suicide on Friday, found with a gunshot wound to his head, Texas police said.
