PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Jeffry Picower, a Florida philanthropist alleged to have extracted billions from Bernard Madoff's investment scheme, drowned in his pool Sunday, police said. He was 67.
The former New York lawyer and accountant had been a friend of Madoff for decades.
A statement from Palm Beach police said Picower's wife and a maid found the body at the bottom of the pool Sunday afternoon and rescue workers could not revive him. Picower was transported to Good Samaritan Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at about 1:30 p.m.

Suicide or homicide?? Pick one.
Either one is certainly possible.But the ME will also be looking for a massive heart attack or stroke which are also possibilities for a guy his age.

Ok, who held his head under?
Is Bernie happy or sad about this?
I wonder if he got in on the sex and cocaine parties up in Bernie’s New York offices? That could weaken a heart.

Mr. Picower’s wife and housekeeper called 911 at about noon on Sunday after finding him at the bottom of the pool.
When rescue workers arrived at the home at 1410 South Ocean Blvd., Barbara Picower and the housekeeper had already pulled him from the water, but he was not breathing. The Palm Beach Police said in a press release that Picower was pronounced dead at 1:30 p.m. Officers are investigating the death as a drowning.

Someone raised the point on another thread that if the indictment disappears with his death, does his wife get to keep it all? I don’t think so..I think the bankruptcy trustee can claw it all back..
Look for a big Life Insurance policy with Double indemnity.
This guy has pretty much flown under the radar..he didn’t raise money for Bernie..so why did he get such “high returns..”..I suspect that he knew it was a Ponzi scheme, and was blackmailing Madoff..
Too convenient. I want to see the pharmacology on this. Have Calleigh Duquesne send the report direct to me! Gentlemen, 24 x 7, we never quit!
The fellow who should be dead over Madoff is Carl Shapriro - who I believe in in his mid 90’s. He “invested” over $200M in the last 30 days before Madoff’s world came down on December 11th - a cash transfer that kept Madoff going for a couple of weeks at the end. When Shapiro got the call re:Madoff - he should have dropped dead on ths spot, because the $200M was only a small slice of what he had in Madoff’s game.
