Russell Munsch, who founded Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr in Dallas 31 years ago and represented a wealthy Texas oilman in one of the largest personal bankruptcies in history, died in a plane crash while on a golfing vacation in Australia.

Munsch, 61, was one of five people who died in the crash when a chartered twin-engine Beechcraft Super King Air crashed into a storage area Tuesday at the rear of the Direct Factory Outlet mall in Essendon, a suburb of Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria, according to a report from The Associated Press.
