JP Morgan name man who plunged to his death from Canary Wharf headquarters as technology chief Gabriel Magee
A bank executive who died after jumping 500ft from the top of JP Morgan's European headquarters in London this morning has been named as Gabriel Magee.
The senior manager, who is believed to be 39, fell from the 33 floor skyscraper and was found on the ninth floor roof of the Canary Wharf building.
He was a vice president in the corporate and investment bank technology department having joined from IT giant Intel in 2004.
His name was sent to all JP Morgan staff via email this afternoon.
A company spokesman said: 'We are deeply saddened to have lost a member of the J.P. Morgan family at 25 Bank Street today. Our thoughts and sympathy are with his family and his friends'.
Scotland Yard said they were called to 25 Bank Street at 8.02am and detectives are not treating the death as suspicious.
'No arrests have been made and the incident is being treated as non-suspicious at this early stage', a Met spokesman said.
Canary Wharf workers were in shock today, with one trader telling MailOnline that his body lay on the flat roof until around Midday.
'My colleague yelled that he could see that someone had jumped from the top of the building onto a lower roof. His body lay there uncovered for at least two hours,' he said.
'Hundreds were looking out of their windows at him.
'It was bonus week at JP Morgan last week so I hope it wasn't to do with that'.
