JP Morgan exec killed himself leaping from UK building, inquest rules
[The Peninsula] A JP Morgan technology expert who fell to his death from the bank's tower in London's Canary Wharf financial district, killed himself, an inquest concluded on Tuesday.Gabriel Magee, 39, a vice president with the corporate and investment bank's technology arm, plunged from the building in January, hitting a lower, 9th-floor roof. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was visible for hours to workers overlooking the JP Morgan tower in Canary Wharf. "I am wholly satisfied that Gabriel jumped off the 32nd floor with the intention of killing himself," senior coroner Mary Hassell said in her conclusion. She also said it was clear that work performance issues he had previously faced were consequences of personal troubles. The inquest got written evidence from a senior toxicologist that Magee, an American, had an alcohol level nearly three times the legal driving limit. An empty bottle of tequila was found among his possessions. Posted by: Fred 2014-05-21 |
