Freddie Mac CFO Found Dead in Apparent Suicide
----------------------------------------------



The chief financial officer of the troubled government-backed mortgage
giant Freddie Mac has been found dead in an apparent suicide. Police say
the body of forty-one-year-old David Kellermann was found hanging in his
Virginia home. Kellermann was named Freddie Mac’s acting chief financial
officer in September after sixteen years at the company. He came under
scrutiny earlier this month after it was revealed he and other top
Freddie Mac executives stood to receive some $210 million in bonuses
over the next two years.
