Rockefeller CEO Dies in Apparent Suicide

James McDonald, an adviser to wealthy families as chief executive of investment management group Rockefeller & Co, died of a single gunshot wound on Sunday. McDonald, 56, was found dead in his car near a strip mall in Dartmouth, Mass. "The preliminary investigation concludes that this was an apparent suicide," said Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for the Bristol County district attorney.

My sis works for this company in nyc.

She was telling me about this, this morning and how the whole company was so sad for his family.

She also told me that people knew he was going through severe mental illness and depression for a while now.

You'd think a guy like that could get a hook up for some cannabis. Odd.

I don't understand why people choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem when they commit suicide.

Too bad he didn't share what was going through his head with someone who would help him realize that.

Sad for the family.

Sad that the last minute of his life was so filled with despair.

NOt to be too cynical but in today's financial world you have to wonder if there isn't some sort of scandal about to become public knowledge.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Glenn Beck analysing the stonework at Rockefeller Center.

I'm sure it does. He knew that Beck was onto the whole commie/fascist conspiracy, and didn't have time to change the art, so he killed himself.

I'll bet he was skimming.

Was it suicide or was it made to appear as a suicide? These banksters are screwing some dangerous people who don't take kindly to having their money stolen.

I think we're going to see an epidemic of bankster murders and suicides.

Guilt by Association!

He realized that he just couldn't wash all that Rockefeller "Blood" off his hands and so did the only honorable thing!

What a stretch.

We have lots of tall buildings. They are available. Why don't you take a long hard look at the finger on the trigger and not the trigger itself.

Imo, they knew that.. it's more likely that he knew about others..

..and with a single bullet that's been "taken care of".
