on a side note- the Julius Baer Bank CEO offed himself
Questions surround unexpected death of Swiss bank CEO
December 5, 2008 8:30 AM ET
(Reuters)—Alex Widmer, the chief executive of Bank Julius Baer and a well respected figure in Swiss private banking, has died unexpectedly at the age of 52, the bank said.
A source told Reuters he had been informed by close friends of Mr. Widmer’s family that the banker had committed suicide.
Swiss news website 20Minuten cited two unnamed independent sources as saying it was a case of suicide.
Swiss police declined to comment on the death.
Julius Baer, Switzerland’s biggest dedicated wealth manager which has roots dating back to the 19th century, is based in Zurich and manages more than 360 billion Swiss francs ($300.8 billion) in assets for rich individuals and institutions.
A spokesman said there was no link between Mr. Widmer’s death and the group’s current activities, but declined to give further details on the cause of Mr. Widmer’s death overnight on Wednesday, saying it was a private matter.
The Swiss news agency SDA said Mr. Widmer’s wife died from cancer in 2005.
A second source said employees at the bank had been told Mr. Widmer had died from an unspecified illness. Mr. Widmer had three children.
