Something weird is going on in the financial world, especially at JPMorgan. Yesterday, it was reported that a 33-year-old J.P. Morgan employee leapt from the roof of the company's Hong Kong headquarters. This was the third 'suicide' of a JPM employee this year. On January 27 a senior manager in London jumped to his death. Last week an executive director was found dead in his home. All of these employees were in their thirties. And there seems to be a couple of versions as to what happened in each case.
Other finance people have died violently. On Jan. 26, a former Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch executive with close ties to the co-chief executive of Deutsche Bank was found hanged in London. In Washington state, the chief economist for Russell Investments fell down a 50-foot embankment and died. Two weeks ago, Richard Talley, 57, the founder of American Title Services, apparently killed himself with a nail gun. And also in January, U.K.-based communications director at Swiss Re AG, Tim Dickenson, was found dead; the circumstances surrounding his death remain unknown.
