Alleged con-man found dead

Federal officials say accused business scammer Don Lapre was found dead in his jail cell.  He was being held in a federal lockup in Florence, Az., on charges of fraud.  Lapre was accused of scheming to sell worthless Internet-based businesses.

                     Ex-Con

'Twas on gullible folks that he fed;

How he made his butter and bread.
Placed in a cell
Where other crooks dwell,
When we awoke the next day, he was dead.
