Under Pressure

“Green shoots, no roots”  is one saying going around the office and with the City under prolonged pressure some of the individuals under strain have found the going too hard to bear.

Recently the former CFO of ABN-AMRO went missing with a pair of shotguns the other week having left ABN in March 2008 for personal reasons and was later found dead in woodland near Windsor. While it’s not known what the other circumstances behind his tragic death are there may be some who believe that it was suicide, the same way that former Freddie Mac CFO David Kellerman met his end.

Here in the City there was an incident yesterday where a well-dressed man in a Hugo Boss suit fell from a tall City building and Police are asking for assistance in finding out who he was:

City of London Police is asking for help to identify a man who fell to his death from a building near Bank junction this Sunday, July 5th.

The man wasn’t carrying any form of ID and inquiries since the incident at approx 12.10 yesterday have failed to establish who he was.

He is described as a dark skinned, and may have been Asian or Middle Eastern. He is believed to have been in his late 20′s to early 30′s, and had short black/dark brown hair and was clean-shaven. He was well dressed, in a Hugo Boss suit, white striped shirt, blue Gucci tie, black Gucci belt and wore black slip on shoes.

He had a silver coloured band on the third finger of his right hand and silver coloured oblong cufflinks with a black stone in middle. He had a Gucci key ring with three Yale type keys and one Chubb type key.

Anyone who believes they may have information about his identity is asked to contact Bishopsgate CID on 020 7601 2670 or 020 7601 2606

There’s no indication whether he was a City worker at this point but it has be somewhat likely, given the location of his fall. Hopefully one of you will be able to help.
