Credit crunch banker leaps to his death in front of express train

Sources stressed that neither Mr Stephenson nor his company had financial problems that would have led him to take his own life.

But they said the financier had ‘succumbed’ to the stress and responsibilities of his taxing role, adding that Mr Stephenson had overreacted to the continuing financial turmoil.

I love that British understatement. Mr. Stepenson "overreacted" by throwing himself in front of a train.
