"Suspicious Death of JP Morgan Vice President, Gabriel Magee, Under Investigation in London"

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

http://wallstreetonparade.com/2014/02/suspicious-death-of-jpmorgan-vice-president-gabriel-magee-under-investigation-in-london/

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.

At this moment in time, police have yet to produce a single witness who saw Magee jump from the rooftop of this building, let alone “thousands of horrified commuters.” (Exactly why would thousands of horrified commuters be standing in front of 25 Bank Street at 8:02 a.m. with their necks tilted up toward the roof? Magee did not land on the sidewalk; his body was found on a rooftop 9 floors above street level.) Both the Independent and London Evening Standard newspapers are majority owned by Alexander Lebedev, a Russian and former KGB agent. Emphasis added.

A JP Morgan executive plunged to his death from the roof of the bank’s European headquarters in London’s Canary Wharf this morning.

Gabriel Magee, vice president in CIB Technology, landed on the ninth floor of the neighbouring building at 25 Bank Street and was pronounced dead shortly after 8am, Scotland Yard said.

Police confirmed that the 39-year-old’s death was not being treated as suspicious.

Workers in skyscrapers overlooking the roof were horrified by the sight of the body lying below them
.

And from the Daily Mirror, which reports his parents were flying to London and demanding an investigation. This story also mentions he an his partner were planning on starting a family.

The parents of a JP Morgan executive who plunged to his death from the top of the bank’s London headquarters have today told of their grief.

American Gabriel Magee, 39, who fell over 500ft had worked as Vice President in the technology department for six years.

He was said to be in a happy relationship with a long-term girlfriend.

His parents, Bill, 64, and Nell, 74, Magee are now demanding answers to how he could have got up on to the roof of the building in Canary Wharf before he fell 500ft on Tuesday morning.

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.

that give one pause.

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

Carry on.

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
