The acting head of Freddie Mac, David Kellermann, has apparently committed suicide, Fairfax County Police tell WTOP. Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Mary Anne Jennings says Kellermann, 41, was found at his Hunter Mill Estates home Wednesday morning.

Jennings says police responded to the home after family members called police around 5 a.m.

"We were called from inside the house to come investigate an apparent suicide," Jennings says.

Because of legal ramifications, Jennings says she can't describe the nature of the suicide.

"We're not to give you details of the condition of the body, except to say it was an apparent suicide," Jennings says.

Obambi-cide !!

[wombtotomb]

One less, seems like a deck chair off the titanic......

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Bawneycide?
Fwankicide?

Let's hope it wasn't the "pitchforks" that the current President mentioned as a threat to AIG executives. Regardless, a very sad state of affairs when someone takes their own life.

Godspeed to his family.

Remember under Clinton? Vince Foster committed “suicide” also. NOT!

[briarbey b]

Looks like he was seeing promising future that he wanted to be part of.

[sweet_diane]

Wondering if blood ran up hill again....

[WakeUpAndVote]

Either that or, he knew he was going to jail for something.

[mad_as_he$$]

WOW Who is keeping the list?

[HereInTheHeartland]

The conspiracy nuts will have a field day with this.

Perhaps he killed himself because of pangs of conscience. His seat was the epicenter of the spark that ignited the global economic meltdown. As an accountant, he had to have seen it all.

[Ezekiel]

I hope he didn’t address any “In the event of my death” envelopes to the NY Times. :-(

[mom4melody]

How sad to have no hope. Prayers for his family.

... “with an infinitely more distinguished public record than yours, Admiral Boorda committed suicide when he may have committed a minor mistake”, the Tom Lantos solution...

[smartymarty]

He just took over in September...

[wolfcreek]

“David B. Kellermann, MS ’00, is vice president of the mortgage portfolio investment process of Freddie Mac in McLean, Va. He is responsible for managing and coordinating all aspects of mortgage portfolio activity including the business, financial reporting, tax, and other operational issues and risks with other affected areas within the company. He previously served as director of mortgage portfolio strategy with the company. He has been with Freddie Mac since 1992. Kellerman resides in Vienna, Va”

He knew too much!

[BallyBill]

He saw the writing on the wall with all this torture prosecution stuff and didn't like the future.

[sitetest]

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that this is the acting CFO, not CEO.

[glide625]

My heart be still!

[McGruff]

WOW Who is keeping the list?

Oh no. Not my own list.

[Mygirlsmom]

Either that or, he knew he was going to jail for something.

Or preparing to blow the whistle????

[penelopesire]

Obama did say he was ‘taking names’. The democrats are in this financial meltdown up to their ears.This guy knew where the bones were buried as CFO and before that controller.

[Lazamataz]

If its a real suicide, this is portending a REALLY bad economy REAL soon.

Regardless, the markets will tank on this news. Look for a 4% to 6% drop.

[4everontheRight]

“Remember under Clinton? Vince Foster committed “suicide” also. NOT!”.............
First thing I thought of when I saw that headline!

[ltc8k6]

He only became CFO in September, though.

[Ezekiel]

Lantos was just trying to advance the lie that Admiral Boorda committed suicide.

[PGalt]

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. Condolences to David Kellermann’s family and friends.

[penelopesire]

PING!!

[Malsua]

Because of legal ramifications,

What exactly would those be? He scrawled "Bama got me" in blood on the walls? What?

And Moffet quit last month...

[Miss Didi]

So sad...so young.

[AliVeritas]

Prayers for his soul and his family.

Web’s being purged.

Did they ever find out what happened with Quarley’s ‘suicide’ (the investigator re: passport breach)?

[sitetest]

Dear Admin Moderator,

WTOP apparently has changed their headline to “Acting CFO of Freddie Mac commits suicide.” Would it be appropriate to change the title of this thread?

Very sorry that this has to happen to anyone.

How long will it be before it’s blamed on talk radio and right-wing extremism? After all, there have been some very negative reports about Fanny & Freddie’s performance from conservative outlets. May have been enough for the poor man to do himself in.

[mad_as_he$$]

lol. Sorry 0 you will have a list. It is your destiny.

[4Liberty]

This means another great day in Baradise, for the markets.

[CholeraJoe]

Depends on how he died. If he hung himself, about half of those are accidents. Autoerotic asphyxia gone wrong.

[Doogle]

gonna be a looonnngg day

[syriacus]

Barney Frank recently signaled that he has a new plan to blame the mortgage crisis on the Bush administration.

Barney now says Bush policies forced renters to become homeowners.

Maybe Kellerman read the omens of bad things to come.

[silverleaf]

what quarley suicide?

[chicagolady]

Did he commit suicide just like VINCE FOSTER???

[ErnBatavia]

Yep - it’s hard to imagine more cruelty to one’s remaining family.

[jersey117]

Exactly. What did he know and just how bad are things really? Or, what bad economic scandal is about to come down.

[Falcon4.0]

Let the Body Count Begin.

[concerned about politics]

Bawneycide?
Fwankicide?

Yeah. Like Vince Foster, he had an important story to tell. He's new, and I can just imagine what he found in the office files. The democrat politicians are deep, deep, into this Fanny/Freddie induced economic crash.

As soon as I heard FOX report this, the first thought that popped into my head was "Why was he killed?" I didn't even have time to think about it.

[penelopesire]

Very sad and very suspicious. This guy was in a position to know where all the bones were buried.

[IrishMike]

Familiar story line to frequent events of the last dRAT President.
.
.
Just sayin’

[PGR88]

So the Clintons must be involved in this scandal!

[pgkdan]

The conspiracy nuts will have a field day with this.

If you can look at everything that's happened to this country in the last 2 years and NOT see the possibility of a vast conspricay at work I think you're nuts.
