Bank of England boss' suicide 'induced by cost-cutting'


A Bank of England manager stabbed himself to death because of the extreme pressure he felt about cost-cutting at work, an inquest has heard.

(comment: Really Stabbed himself to death? That took a lot of guts. )




Christopher Dymond’s body was found in a secluded car park, alongside a note to his wife, Sharon.

His father, Denis Dymond, 80, told an inquest in Chelmsford: ‘Our over-arching view is that Chris’s death came about because of intense anxiety which was work-related.

'He was let down in the duty of care by his employers.'
A post-mortem examination revealed the 52-year-old died from self-inflicted stab wounds to his chest and cuts to his arms.
The father of three was reported missing by his family on April 21 after they were unable to contact him.

Police discovered his body a day later near Brentwood in Essex, four miles from the Dymond family home.

Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray recorded a verdict of suicide.
She said: 'It is patently clear from what Mr Dymond expressed in the note that he was suffering extreme anxiety about work related matters.'

K, sounds like a cover up for an assassination. But then again he may have been facing some real criminal charges and knew it. Tough to say. I can't feel any sympathy for the man.

I just think it would be really hard to stab yourself. Not impossible, but damn!

ouch.

Stabbing himself? Pills.......gunshot......hanging....all are easier! Hell, anything is easier!

Seppuku 切腹

is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. Part of the samurai bushido honor code, seppuku was either used voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely suffer torture), or as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed for other reasons that had brought shame to them. The ceremonial disembowelment, which is usually part of a more elaborate ritual and performed in front of spectators, consists of plunging a short blade, traditionally a tantō, into the abdomen and moving the blade from left to right in a slicing motion.[1]

I don't think the dude was japonesa.

Maybe it's a fad that will catch on with the unethical, immoral, corrupt bankers.

Maybe its the white dragon ninja guys killing off the banksters.

Guess he's gutted himself like the Central Bank is gutting Europe!

I read they found him duct taped to his chair, gagged, blindfolded and his hands tied behind his back.
Ruled apparent suicide.

Used his Feet!

Really? I think I heard a trickle like that. It is something that did not make a lot of headlines. It was as if they wanted it covered up.

I am pretty certain he was murdered. The idea that it was suicide by knife is absurd.
