BOSTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - James McDonald, a prominent
adviser to wealthy families as chief executive of investment
management group Rockefeller & Co, died in an apparent suicide,
on Sunday, local authorities said on Tuesday.
McDonald, 56, was found with a single gunshot wound in his
car near a strip mall in Dartmouth, Massachusetts on Sunday
afternoon. Police are still investigating.
"The preliminary investigation concludes that this was an
apparent suicide," said Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for Bristol
County District Attorney Sam Sutter.
McDonald was credited with growing Rockefeller & Co, the
New York-based family office established by oil tycoon John D.
Rockefeller in 1882 to manage the dynasty's assets, into a
broader investment management company with roughly $28 billion
in assets.
Known as a perfectionist who drove himself and his
employees hard, McDonald lived in New York City where people
who worked with him said he was equally at home in corporate
boardrooms and the city's most exclusive social circles.
Is it our right to choose how long we live and when we get to die?
Is this freedom of expression?
