LONDON: A technology expert fell to his death yesterday from the London skyscraper housing investment bank JP Morgan’s European headquarters.
Gabriel Magee, 39, fell from the 33-floor building in London’s financial hub Canary Wharf at around 0800 GMT, police said. He landed on a ninth floor roof.
Magee was a vice-president in JP Morgan’s corporate and investment bank technology division and had worked for the US bank for a decade, his employers said.
He worked in the technology department and was not a trader or a banker, JP Morgan said.
Paramedics and air ambulance staff attended but Magee was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterwards.
His death is being treated as “non-suspicious” at this stage, London’s Metropolitan Police said. The bank said it was “deeply saddened to have lost a member of the JP Morgan family”. AFP
