Madoff son found dead in NYC in apparent
suicide
NEW YORK (AP) — Bernard Madoff's eldest son was
found dead of an apparent suicide Saturday on the
second anniversary of his father's arrest, according
to police and a lawyer for the family.
Mark Madoff, 46, was found dead in his apartment
in Manhattan's fashionable SoHo section, according
to police department spokesman Paul Browne. A
relative notified police around 7:30 a.m.
"Mark Madoff took his own life today. This is a
terrible and unnecessary tragedy," his lawyer,
Martin Flumenbaum, said in a written statement.
His body was found hanging from a dog leash that
had been fashioned into a noose and strung over a
pipe in the ceiling of his living room, according to
a law enforcement official. The official was not
authorized to speak publicly about the case and
spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of
anonymity.
"Mark was an innocent victim of his father's
monstrous crime who succumbed to two years of
unrelenting pressure from false accusations and
innuendo. We are all deeply saddened by this
shocking turn of events," Flumenbaum said.
Mark Madoff and his brother, Andrew, were under
investigation but hadn't faced any criminal charges
in the massive Ponzi scheme that led to their
father's jailing.
Bernard Madoff swindled a long list of investors
out of billions of dollars and is serving a 150-year
prison term in North Carolina. He was arrested on
Dec. 11, 2008, after confessing his crimes to his
family.
Madoff's sons, according to the family's
attorneys, were the ones who turned him in.
The scandal put a harsh light on members of the
family. The financier's brother, Peter, played a
prominent role in the family's company. Mark and
Andrew Madoff both worked on a trading desk at the
firm, on a side of the business that wasn't directly
involved in the Ponzi scheme.
In February, Mark Madoff's wife, Stephanie,
petitioned a court to change her last name and the
last names of their two children, saying her family
had gotten threats and was humiliated by the
scandal.
Law enforcement officials told The Associated
Press that Mark Madoff's wife, who is in Florida,
became concerned about her husband after getting a
communication from him either Friday night or early
Saturday morning suggesting that someone should
check on their two-year-old child.
She asked her father to check on the home. When he
arrived, he found the body, as well as the
two-year-old sleeping safely in his bedroom.
A dog in the apartment was also unharmed.
A call to Bernard Madoff's attorney was not
immediately returned Saturday. Calls to the FBI and
U.S. Attorney's office were also not immediately
returned. Previously, spokespeople for the brothers
had repeatedly denied that they had any knowledge of
their father's crimes.
A year ago, the court-appointed trustee trying to
unravel Madoff's financial affairs sued several
relatives, including Peter, Mark and Andrew,
accusing them of failing to detect the fraud while
living lavish lifestyles financed with the family's
ill-gotten fortune.
The lawsuit accused Mark Madoff of using $66
million he received improperly to buy luxury homes
in New York City, Nantucket and Connecticut.
Police investigators were at Madoff's apartment
Saturday morning, along with officials from the
medical examiner's office, which will determine the
cause of death.
