Conflicting Reports for CEO of Freddie – Suicide or Homocide?
I’m not sure what to make of this but I will also report this:
Police investigating the apparent suicide of Freddie Mac (FRE) acting chief financial officer David Kellermann confirmed the presence of a gun and a gunshot wound, AHN Media reported Wednesday on its Web site. Kellermann was found dead at his home early in the morning, according to Fairfax County police. Police spokesman Lucy Caldwell told AHN that other people were present at the home at the time of Kellermann’s death, in Reston, Va., and that there was a gun and a gunshot wound. Kellermann’s wife told local police he committed suicide, Washington, D.C., television station WUSA reported, citing county sheriff’s deputies.
The earlier report stated that he hanged himself, which seemed like an obvious suicide, but there is now evidence of a gunshot wound… Story is still developing. Rest in Peace Mr. Kellermann and sympathies to family and friends.
Freddie Mac CEO Found Dead; Suicide
The Investigation is still ongoing and the story is still developing… From Breitbart:
David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer of money-losing mortgage giant Freddie Mac was found dead at his home Wednesday morning in what police said was an apparent suicide.
The Fairfax County police responded to a 911-call at 4:48 a.m. at the suburban Virginia home Kellermann shared with his wife and a daughter. The police would not release the cause of death or say if a suicide note was found.

Kellermann, a University of Michigan graduate who went to business school at George Washington University, worked for Freddie Mac for the past 16 years and was named acting chief financial officer last September when the government seized control of the company and ousted top executives. Freddie Mac lost more than $50 billion last year, and the government has pumped in $45 billion to keep the company afloat.
Kellermann’s death is the latest in a string of blows to Freddie Mac, which owns or guarantees about 13 million mortgages and us the No. 2 mortgage finance company after sibling Fannie Mae. The company has been criticized for financing risky mortgage loans that fueled the real estate bubble, and its first government appointed CEO, David Moffett, resigned last month after six months on the job.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia have been investigating Freddie Mac’s business practices. But two U.S. law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the Freddie Mac investigation, said Kellermann was neither a target nor a subject of the investigation and had not been under law enforcement scrutiny.
News of Kellermann’s death came as a shock to employees of the McLean, Va.-based company, with those who knew Kellermann tearing up on Wednesday morning and a quiet mood prevailing.
Early Wednesday, Sharon McHale, a Freddie Mac spokeswoman, said senior executives at the company heard the news on local radio before going to work. “It’s just so awful,” she said.
John Koskinen, the company’s interim chief executive, said in a statement that Kellermann, “was a man of great talents …. His extraordinary work ethic and integrity inspired all who worked with him.”

Freddie Mac and sibling company Fannie Mae have both come under fire from lawmakers as they plan to pay more than $210 million in bonuses through next year to give workers the incentive to stay in their jobs. While Fannie Mae has disclosed the names of executives in line for the bonuses, Freddie Mac has yet to do so.
Suicidal Woman Jumps and Lands on Teenager at NYC Mall
Authorities say a woman jumping to her death landed on a teenager at a New York City mall, causing injuries that sent him to a hospital.
The lower level of the Queens Center Mall was packed with high school students on spring break when the incident occurred Wednesday.
A relative said 17-year-old Derrick MuInoz was briefly knocked unconscious and had a large gash on his head. He is a student at Amityville High School on Long Island.
Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said the woman was in her early to mid-50s. She was with two teenagers when she plunged several stories.
Keep the boy in your prayers and all the relatives and friends of both people involved in this.
Pilot of Stolen Canadian Cessna Wanted to be Killed
The Canadian man who flew his plane across six states last night wanted to fly into U.S. airspace, figuring he would immediately be shot down.
31 yr.-old, Yavuz Berke, formerly known as Adam Leon, wanted to commit suicide but didn’t have the courage to do it himself. After being aprehended in Missouri, he disclosed this information to a Missouri state trooper, Justin Watson, who went on Good Morning America earlier today.
Breaking News: Washington, 5 Children Killed by Father in Murder-Suicide
This just horrifying – please keep sending out prayers for everyone affected by these tragic crimes!
A father apparently shot to death five of his children, ages 7 to 16, at their mobile home and then killed himself near a casino miles away, police said Saturday.
Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff, called it a domestic violence situation and a murder-suicide.
“We believe they all died of gunshot wounds,” Troyer said.
Police early Saturday found the father slain from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was in his car, parked near the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn, about 30 miles south of Seattle. Later in the day, Pierce County deputies checked the mobile home, which is about 20 miles southeast of the casino, and found four of the children dead in their beds and the fifth in the bathroom.
I particularly appreciated this quote from the article:
Troyer told The News Tribune of Tacoma. “You kind of get hardened to seeing people who are killed because of their own bad actions. But these kids died through no fault of their own. This is something you never want to see.”
It’s a shame that this involved children and it’s sickening, sad and so unnecessary. These children deserved so much more and so much better – they deserved life.
