I found this article, on a website I'd never heard of . Dated today, Feb. 9. New information as far as I can tell.

Article says that London police confirm an official investigation is in progress. It's said that almost nothing reported, so far, about the death is accurate.
Earlier reports that Magee's plunge was witnessed by other bankers and by "thousands of horrified commuters" have been found to be untrue. Not one witness has been found who witnessed the fall. Instead, Mr. Magee's co-workers were said to have noticed the body lying on the 9th floor, which juts out from the building.

(36,437 posts)Vice Presidents of "technology" at JP Morgan are a dime a dozen. Nobody would intrigue to kill one. Now get me a managing Director or three, and maybe there's a story.

On the other hand, there couldn't ever be any sort of hanky-panky going on in the banking industry.
Carry on.

(5,420 posts)it does make one think that suicide is not the correct term. What has there been like 3-6 of them in about 2 weeks time? Nothing suspicious at all. Obviously no hanky-panky. lol
