Madoff son commits suicide on Dad's arrest anniversary
Two days ago was the second
anniversary of Bernard Madoff's arrest
for the biggest investment fraud in US history.
Madoff's eldest son 46-year old Mark, was reported to have
committed suicide in their lavish New York apartment the same day.
At 4am in the morning
Mark sent e-mails to his wife,
who was taking their daughter to Disneyland,
telling her that he loved her.
He also urged his wife
to take good care of the children.
Mark's wife felt suspicious
and called Madoff to check up on him.
But Mark had already began to hang himself in the living room
Madoff's uncle arrived at 7am
to find him hanging from the ceiling.
Mark's 2-year old son
was sleeping in the bedroom
Mark and his younger brother exposed his father's
Ponzi scheme
Madoff was sentenced to 150 years imprisonment.
But others suspected Mark of being an accomplice
and he was roundly criticised.
As he didn't leave a suicide note,
police suspect that he
couldn't stand the pressure
and so chose to end his life.
