Reports: Freddie Mac Acting CFO Found Dead in Apparent Suicide

WASHINGTON — DEVELOPING: Reports say the acting chief financial officer of Freddie Mac has been found dead in an apparent suicide.

WUSA-TV and WTOP Radio are reporting that David Kellermann was found dead in his Northern Virginia home Wednesday morning.

The 41-year-old Kellermann has been Freddie Mac's chief financial officer since September.


Begs the question "Why?"
UPDATE: Hmmm. He's not one of those outside replacement types. Curiouser and curiouser.
...Kellermann was named acting chief financial officer in September 2008, after the resignation of Anthony "Buddy" Piszel, who stepped down after the September 2008 government takeover. The chief financial officer is responsible for the company's financial controls, financial reporting and oversight of the company's budget and financial planning.

Before taking that job, Kellerman served as senior vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer. He was with Freddie Mac for more than 16 years.

A democrat is in office again and suddenly prominent figures start killing themselves. How odd.

I suppose a bunch of politicians will start dying in skiing accidents and plane crashes again too.

The previous Don, er, CFO was Anthony "Buddy" Piszel?

This explains a lot.

it sounds like Kellermann had a misguided sense of guilt about the whole Freddie Mac fiasco since he came into his position after the company was already well on the way to financial meltdown
