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.

I heard a Bahney Fwank interview snippet on Rush yesterday where he “claims” that the Freddie Mac mortgage stuff was intended for people who RENTED, not bought homes!!!

WHO PAYS A MORTGAGE FOR RENTING?!?!?!

So many suspicious leads to follow, so little time...
Looking forward to Rush, Sean’s and Dr. Levin’s take on this
murder...er, *insert air quotes*, “suicide”.

[pillut48]

Yeah, but presupposes that he actually committed ‘suicide’—the odds are with this administration is that he had assistance!!!

[Never on my watch]

“Do the records suggest he made contributions to Demrat causes and campaigns?”

Irrelevant

You are thinking like me. There are some other questions I have, besides his killing himself in the home.

How did he die? Gunshot? If so, when and where did he buy a gun?

Did he hang himself? That is an even more horrible thing for his wife to find, and again makes it odd for him to kill himself at home.

There are no people saying he was depressed. Seems to have been a rather sudden reversal of mood.

I have not heard one word about a wife or children on the news so far. If there was one it would have been mentioned by now. Since there is no comments in that area at all I am starting to think he may be gay.

“Murder police are at the scene now. Looks like it’s not such an open/shut suicide case after all.”

Have not heard that yet. MSM all but ignoring the story. That makes it even more suspicious imho. Not asking questions..just reporting it as a suicide. I wonder why? Is the media scared this thing is going to blow up in their messiah’s face?

“Irrelevant.”

Why? If he took one for the team as the poster suggested, that might help identify the team.

Wife and daughter???

His wife called police after finding the body. Not only is he married, but he has a daughter who is five.

Heard from a neighbor interviewed on Fox.

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

That's how I read it.

The conspiracy stuff is an unfortunate distraction, since the lesson we outsiders should take from this is the suicidal level of gloom that afflicted someone who has all the inside data.

“Kellerman had been under fire for financial irregularities at the home lending giant. Additionally, he has been criticized for taking a large bonus, while the Feds were injecting Mac with $ billions in taxpayer bail-out funds.”

*snip*

Reports of additional bailout negligence and mismanagement are rocking the Obama administration as lack of oversight has produced one big TARP mess after another, leaving Democrats running for cover.

There were more revelations yesterday of excessive executive bonuses from the mismanaged Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, companies at the very heart of the current financial meltdown, and an announcement from Democrats in Congress that 13 of the financial firms receiving bailout money from taxpayers owe more than $220 million in unpaid back federal taxes.”

This is the wrong way to go about easing the conscience. I wonder if he saw the full picture...

Man, it is going to get worse!

And how did he die? This seems so odd to me.

From, Updated: Fairfax County Police Say Medical Examiner Will Determine Exact Cause Of Kellerman's Death

.............."However, there were "no signs of foul play. It's under investigation. Police were called at 4:49 a.m.," Fairfax County Police Public Information Officer Lucy Caldwell told AHN Media in a telephone interview.

Asked if the death was a suicide, Caldwell said they were leaving that determination up to the county medical examiner. She wasn't sure if the body had been removed yet or not when AHN spoke to her at 8:30 a.m.

"We were just called to respond to an unattended death and it's under investigation," Caldwell said.

Although Caldwell told AHN that police have not yet released the identity of the person who called them, she did confirm to AHN that there were other people present in the house at the time of the death and that there was a gun and a gunshot wound."

I have not heard one word about a wife or children on the news so far.

He had a wife and a five year old - who were in the house at the time.

Thanks for the update, Girlene. So now we know it was a gunshot.

May God have mercy on his soul, and console his loved ones.

DO you think this should be kept with the CHicago Crimes? Am leaving town for a while, will you both make sure the significant is linked?
