A top executive at Freddie Mac was found dead Wednesday morning from an apparent suicide, according to CBS affiliate WUSA-TV in Washington, D.C.

David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer and senior vice president of the government-sponsored mortgage lender, was found dead in his home after his wife alerted Fairfax County Police to his suicide, authorities told WUSA.

According to Kellermann’s bio on Freddie Mac’s Website, the 41-year-old was with the company for more than 16 years and was named acting CFO in September.

That was the same month Freddie Mac was placed under conservatorship by the U.S. Treasury as a result of the subprime mortgage crisis.

Phew!

    Must have tired of waiting for that knock on the door.

  2. Don says:

    Hmm, wonder what they will find when they start digging into his activities at Freddie Mac.

    He had no sinse of irony. He should have offed himself at Fort Marcy Park just to set the conspiracy nuts off.

    This could be linked to the investigations carried out as mentioned in the LA Times tinyurl.com/dmryff

    I’ll bet his home life sucked too. No homelife, no business success. THEN what happens is your back or knee goes out and there just isn’t any reason for living.

    Thank god I found beer.

    Bailout, sans chute.

  7. Mr. Fusion says:

    Yup. Something for the conspiracy nuts to drool over.

  8. Nitroneo says:

    LIES!!!

    It’s all lies, he’s part of a government program and is now in a government hiding program along with Baxter from ENRON.

  9. chuck says:

    Did he shoot himself 8 times in the back of the head, pausing only once to re-load?

  10. ObamaSucks says:

    Nice hat trick if Barney Frank and Franklin Raines would take his lead.

  11. god says:

    He could have done something useful – like take out Cheney before he offed himself.

  12. robrites says:

    1. What did he know?

    2. What was he unwilling to do?

    3. Who was he going to tell?

    4. Does the wife get the nearly 1 million dollar bonus he was due?

  13. Paddy-O says:

    He was only appointed CFO last Sept. Wasn’t “in charge” during the debacle. Wonder what he discovered after taking the post that people like Frank & crew didn’t want aired?

  14. Mr. Fusion says:

    #9, Chuck,

    No, it was more like he cut out his own heart and stuffed it in his mouth while waiting for the cyanide to take effect.

  15. jsauer says:

    Anthony Piszel is the one that should hang himself as he was the CFO when shit hit the fan. Kellermann was brought in as CFO after the government got involved in Sep 2008.

  16. pokey says:

    He shot himself twice in the head, in the morning.

    I can’t believe no one else said it yet.

  17. Paddy-O says:

    “The police would not release the cause of death or say if a suicide note was found. ”

    Hmmm, interesting…

  18. ObamaSucks says:

    Ok, time to quit dancing around it… It was MURDER MOST FOUL!

  19. SparkyOne says:

    His suicide note is still being edited. It is scheduled for release upon completion of multiple reviews.

  20. B.Dog says:

    He’s got a million dollar smile.
