A vice president in technology
operations, Gabriel Magee, died after falling from JPMorgan
Chase & Co. (JPM)’s London headquarters, the bank said today.
The 39-year-old fell from 25 Bank Street in the Canary Wharf area onto a ninth-floor roof, London’s Metropolitan Police said, having been called to the scene at 8:02 this morning.
Magee had worked for JPMorgan since 2004 in the corporate and investment bank’s technology support department, the New York-based lender said in a statement.
“We are deeply saddened to have lost a member of the JPMorgan family at 25 Bank Street today,” said Jennifer Zuccarelli, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan in London. “Our thoughts and sympathy are with his family and his friends.”
The 11-year-old skyscraper is 33 stories high, according to building-data provider Emporis. It was formerly the European headquarters of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., which filed for the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history in 2008. The police are not treating the death as suspicious and no arrests have been made.
JPMorgan took over the office and began moving investment banking staff over to the building in January 2012, according to the lender’s website.
