Skilling, seen above in his Facebook photo.  Great smile. So sad. He lived in an apartment located at 1201East Fairhaven Avenue in Santa Ana.  Chapman University is one of the premier college on the west coast, and many compare its campus as those in the "Ivy League."

Skilling was pronounced dead at the scene.  He was suppose to meet friends at a near by coffee house and when he didn't show up or answer his phone they got concerned and went to his apartment.

His body was located by Paramedics.

The cause of his death has not been officially determined pending toxicology results.

His father is former Enron Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling, whom many considered the  most "vilified figure" from the financial scandal that resulted from the collapse of the former Enron empire.

Jeffrey Skilling is currently in his fifth year of a 24 year  prison sentence.  He is expected to be allowed to attend his sons funeral under escort from federal prison officials in Colorado.  Hey, I wonder if that is the same Federal Prison in Colorado that former OC Sheriff Michael Corona is spending the next five years at on money laundering?

If you have a special comment about the life of John Taylor Skilling, please feel free to do so below.  So sad this happened.  I can't imagine what the past six years of his life was like.  Keep him in your thoughts and Prayers!

RIP.

Madoff's son committed suicide a month or so ago...these poor kids...I bet their dad's never imagined the damage that the were doing to their own families...

They did not care about what they were doing to strangers and friends but to their own sons they left a terrible legacy that they obviously could not shake.
