Former bank executive found dead at home

Bill Broeksmit, 58, died at his home in Chelsea, south west London, on Sunday afternoon and his death is not being treated as suspicious.

An internal email was sent out by senior executives to former colleagues at Deutsche Bank on Monday, paying tribute to the “thoughtful advice and personal friendship” he gave.

It said: “It is our sad duty to inform you that our former colleague, Bill Broeksmit, 58, died on Sunday at his home in London.

A police spokesman said: “Kensington and Chelsea police, ambulance and air ambulance all attended” after a man had been found hanging.
