David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer of mortgage finance concern Freddie Mac, was found dead at his home of an apparent suicide.
According to reports, authorities in Fairfax County said there were no signs of foul play at Kellermanns house in Vienna, Va.
Kellermann, 41 also served as a senior vice president, a post he has held since September. He had also served as corporate controller and principal accounting officer.
Last year, the government took over both Freddie Mac and its sibling, Fannie Mae, upon the collapse of the subprime mortgage market. Both were placed under conservatorship by their federal overseer, the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
