Neil McCormick, the head of UBS's Asia Derivatives Unit, jumped to his death in London after ingesting cocaine at a party, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail report of a court investigation into the death. (Hat tip to Business Insider.)
On June 21, Reuters reported that McKormick had died, based on a statement from UBS.
McCormick, 36, had returned to London and was attending a party thrown in his honor, according to the Daily Mail's account of the investigation. After walking around mumbling to himself, one attendee had this very grim description of McCormick's death:
I saw him vault between the window boxes and the balustrade, then there was a scramble. That's the image I will probably have solidly with me forever. He steadied himself, and that was it.'
According to IFRAsia, McKormick worked at JPMorgan for more than 10 years prior to UBS and was a founding member of JPMorgan's "exotics" team.
