The Freddie Mac story of mishaps will not end with its crash last year. Its acting chief financial officer, David Kellerman, was found dead in his Virginia home, Wednesday. He was 41. Police is initially calling it an “apparent suicide.”
CNN reports:
Authorities said there were no signs of foul play when officers were called to Kellermann’s home in Vienna shortly before 5 a.m. ET, Caldwell said. A source familiar with the investigation said Kellerman apparently hanged himself.
Kellerman was a 16-year veteran at Freddie Mac and also served as senior vice president who managed all financial concerns of the company. He was appointed acting CFO in September of 2008. Prior to his appointment, he was corporate controller and principal accounting officer.
Freddie Mac Interim CEO John Koskinen, in a statement, said, “The Freddie Mac family is truly saddened by the news this morning of David Kellermann’s death. His extraordinary work ethic and integrity inspired all who worked with him. But he will be most remembered for his affability, his personal warmth, his sense of humor and his quick wit.”
