The acting chief financial officer of Freddie Mac, David Kellermann, has apparently committed suicide, according to WTOP radio. Fairfax County Police Department spokeswoman Mary Anne Jennings told the radio station that Mr. Kellermann, 41, was found at his Reston, Va., home Wednesday morning. Mrs. Jennings says police responded to the home after family members called police. "We were called from inside the house to come investigate an apparent suicide," she said. |

#20 My heart, and I hope everyone here, is with the family right now. It is one of the most terrible things to find that a person you love has committed suicide. |

#19 If you paid your taxes, Mike, you're not eligible. What if he promises not to pay taxes on next year's income? |

#16 If the DC Examiner article posted by Seafarious is correct, Obama and the administration should resign. Drudge or someone had better try to keep the heat on this. |

#15 While this story certainly has political interest, I can't help but imagine Mrs. Kellermann struggling mantically to get her husband down and render aid knowning he is gone but crying out for a miracle. My heart breaks for her. |

#11 Washington! Was he, or his killer, polite enough to use a silencer? Because the article said the family reported it. So I almost figure if a silencer hadnt been used, a neighbor or passer by walking a dog would have heard something and reported it, simultaneously. The fact the family reported it makes it seem like the muzzle flash musta been mighty quiet. IDK Something about this definitely seems suspicious. However, I dont know how close the houses are on his block. |

#10 He was only 41, promoted last fall to CFO. He was a comptroller, working for Freddie Mac for 16 years. He's been there through it all but sometimes deadmen do tell tales. We can always hope everything wasn't shredded and he left a note. |

#7 I think the combination of threads have it right. He saw the books, realized he was gonna be the fall guy and said, "Goodbye, cruel world". Or it was a hit since he was gonna squeal. |

#3 This is out of hand! At least he left his family alive. Too sad. I just don't get it but I don't know his deal. |

#2 One must wonder what other Freddie Mac news may be lurking in the corner. Barry and his cadre must be scurrying about now, to pull together more waterboarding stories to smother faultering economic news. Are the "3 to 4 million new jobs" still set to arrive during this administration? No one has mentioned them lately. |
