David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer of money-losing mortgage giant Freddie Mac was found dead at his home yesterday morning in what police said was an apparent suicide.
Kellermann, 41, shared the $900,000 US suburban Virginia home with his wife and a daughter.
Kellermann 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.
Freddie Mac and sibling company Fannie Mae have both come under fire as they plan to pay more than $210 million US in bonuses through next year to give workers the incentive to stay in their jobs.
