Bloomberg reports federal mortgage financier Freddie Mac Acting Chief Financial Officer David Kellermann, 41, was found dead early today in his home in the Washington suburbs, police said.
There were no signs of foul play, and the death is under investigation, Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Officer Shelley Broderick said. Broderick said early reports from others in the department indicated Kellermann’s wife reported a suicide, though the cause of death hasn’t been determined.
“He was a hard worker, good guy and had a positive attitude,” said David Stevens, a former Freddie mortgage executive who left the company in 2005 and was recently nominated to run the Federal Housing Administration.
“Either way, it’s a tragedy,” Stevens said, referring to the reports that the death may have been a suicide.
Investment bank Morgan Stanley today reported a first quarter net loss of $190 million, or 57 cents a share, compared with year-earlier net income of 1.43 billion, or $1.26 a share. The results also included a 33-cent tax gain.
