Freddie Mac CFO Found Dead of Apparent Suicide
The acting chief financial officer of Freddie Mac, David Kellermann, was found dead at his suburban Washington home early Wednesday.
Officer Shelley Broderick of the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia said there were “no signs of foul play” when police found Mr. Kellermann’s body after responding to a call made at 4:48 a.m. ET. Mr. Kellermann was 41 years old.
Kellermann, a 16-year veteran of the mortgage loan guarantor, was discovered by his wife, who found him in the basement. The two have a young daughter.
Fairfax police spokeswoman Mary Anne Jennings said police were called to the Northern Virginia home outside Washington, D.C., in the early morning hours. A call came in at 4:48 a.m. ET.
Kellermann, 41, was named acting chief financial officer in September 2008 and was a member of the company’s leadership team reporting directly to CEO David M. Moffett, who resigned last month.
Freddie Mac Interim CEO John Koskinen issued a statement Wednesday that the “Freddie Mac family is truly saddened” by the news.
