Another J.P. Morgan banker death revealed

[dixiegrrrrl]

Jason Alan Salais, a 34-year old Information Technology specialist who had worked at JPMorgan Chase since May 2008,
died Dec. 15th 2013, while in a store in Pearland Texas, of a heart attack.

However, it turns out heart attacks in this age group are very very very rare
AND
he worked in the same field as did Gabriel Magee, a 39-year old JP Morgan VP who jumped from the roof of JP Morgan building in London 6 weeks later, Jan. 27th
AND
a 33 y/o JP Morgan guy, Dennis Li ( sometimes spelled Dennis Lee) jumped from the roof of another Morgan bank, in Hong Kong Feb. 18th.
AND
On Feb. 3
Ryan Henry Crane, 37,the Executive Director in JPMorgan’s Global Equities Group was found dead in his Stamford Ct home.
It has been reported that Crane and McGee knew each other, did similar work.
which means Crane, McGee and Salais did similar work; Dennis Li's work is not known yet.

So that is FOUR JP Morgan bankers, all in their 30's, who have died since Dec. 15th.

1. I've been hearing about these suspicious deaths for a while

It is kinda odd.

[Myrina]

2. "8 wounds from a nail gun" = suicide?

[KatyMan]

4. "I was just holding a knife...

...and he backed into it 38 times, I swear..."

[KoKo]

15. That one defies imagination...!

indeed!

[supernova]

3. This story is very interesting

It really does make you wonder what all these people had in common, besides high-flying, high-stress careers.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Information Technology specialists are bankers now?

Wow. At least the original link had the common decency not to misrepresent this poor young man's work.

And two people who worked in IT died! Double wow.

[dionysus]

10. where's agents Mulder and Scully when you need them? nt

[KoKo]

13. And what might an "IT" specialist happen to know about illegal trading?

Snowden was an IT Specialist. Plus, JP Morgan is a criminal enterprise considering the amount of "fines" they've paid to the Government rather than getting the prosecutions they deserve. And, they have another investigation of them currently in the works.

I think it's interesting. And, while maybe one or two deaths could be coincidental the linked article points out that the other deaths are indeed very suspicious and worthy of more thorough investigation.

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Turns out that McGee's death is being investigated now.

He disappeared after emailing his girlfriend that he would be home from work in a few minutes.
Last she heard of him, and she filed missing person's complaint later that night.
his body was found on a 4th story overhang of the JP Morgan building, and evidence suggets he could have jumped or been pushed from 8th floor more easily than from actual roof top.
His body was discovered by workers looking down at the overhang, at 8:02 am the next morning, so it could have been there all night.

the other death that has questions is that of 50-year old Michael (Mike) Dueker, the Chief Economist at Russell Investments,
who died the very next day. The puzzling fact in his death is he supposedly climbed over a 4 foot wall and threw himself down a 50 foot embankment, close to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which would have been a more obvious place to jump.
"The 50-year-old University Place resident apparently died early Wednesday when his family thought he was out jogging.
But he was not dressed for jogging and was wearing jeans and a sweater."

Russell Investments was being investigated, for shady practices and its parent company was condidering selling it.

28. I'm surprised the guy who died via nail gun isn't being investigated

Didn't he "try" (cough) several times before finally succeeding in nail gunning himself to death?

[TacoD]

14. I believe the current fashion is to call them bank-STERS. (nt)

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Two cogent replies and "You are ignoring this member"

[Sheepshank]

6. All this specualtion and not facts...what's taking so long?

I love a good conspracy, but this one has me on edge

[Pretzel_Warrior]

7. bahahaha! heat attacks in age group (37) is rare? uh, no it's not

less common than in older people, but survey by American Heart Association from 2005 to 2010 shows roughly 1 in 1000 white men between 35 and 44 suffers a heart attack each year.

[BBR Esq]

9. How many in that age group

are bitten by rattlesnakes? Would that convince you?

[Orrex]

11. On the other hand, heart attacks are rare in rattlesnakes

So are other hands, now that I think of it.

[riderinthestorm]

19. That's .001%. That is very rare in my perspective.... Men over 55 its 12%

Edited to add that the guy in the OP isn't even in the age demographic you selected. He was 34 and died of a heart attack.

Also wanted to insert a for my math brain fart!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

20. 1 in 1000 is 0.1%--not 0.001%

[riderinthestorm]

23. Still, indisputably rare. nt

[hobbit709]

8. In the end, all forms of death can be attributed to "heart failure"

[Sarah Ibarruri]

12. What's going on at J P Morgan? Are they torturing people in there? nt

[Pretzel_Warrior]

21. well, JP Morgan Chase has over 200K employees worldwide

so I guess we can focus everyone in banking industry that dies and tie them together in a giant conspiracy or we can acknowledge the exteremely small numbers being talked about and ask people to get serious.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

26. Is it coincidence, is it a routine thing, or is JP Morgan the 7th level of hell...

that's the question.

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. the common thread is that all the places they worked

are under investigation by the Feds.
Might be these guys were going to blow the whistle...or someone thought they were.
Plus, a reporter who was working on these stories has gone missing...suspiciously.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

25. Very interesting. Someone in my family worked there...

He left. Now he's trying to go into music. Far more peaceful, I guess!

[Octafish]

18. That Ownership Class is always up to something.

To keep themselves the Ownership Class.

[cprise]

30. Also tend to be older

Its almost like a form of generational warfare playing out at this bank.

[SidDithers]

24. ...

29. Don't go all CT on us

It's not like a car bomb killing two people in Washington DC that just happened to be left wing activists.
Seriously that stuff just doesn't happen unless you read Koontz's Dark Rivers of the Heart.

31. I read somewhere else today that JPM carries dead peasant insurance

on their employees, and the policies are worth millions a piece, losing their skills and productivity until they would have been 62. So the younger their employees die, the more money they're worth.

Here it is:

...

The New York Post pointed out in its reporting that there is “no other known link between any of the deaths” outside of the individuals working for the same company. In fact, there are numerous links: all of the men are in their 30s, while according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the expected longevity in 2011 for a U.S. male is 76.3 years. All of the men are believed to have been covered by a life insurance policy which pays JPMorgan upon the death of its employees. (Insurance experts say that larger death benefits can be obtained on younger, highly skilled workers because the death benefit is a function of the number of years of lost earnings.)

JPM doesn't need money that badly...do they?

[dixiegrrrrl]

32. Yeah, I saw that mentioned in a couple stories

as I was roaming around the web this am.

It is not so much a case of "need" the money as it is wanting any money it can get.
JP has a HUGE workforce, and dead peasant insurance is not canceled once you quit or are fired.
So eventually, they get some bucks when you die, no matter how long it takes.
