Pat Maloney Sr., a firebrand plaintiffs' lawyer known as the king of torts, whose clients included nuns, madams and Vietnamese fishermen in a landmark murder case, died late Saturday at age 81.

"I will die with the greatest of reluctance and the strongest of resistance, but I'd love to stay here because I'm having fun and I would love to try more lawsuits," Maloney said in a videotaped memoir made several years ago. "Having said that, I'm still trying very hard to die well."
