[release]NEW YORK — The eldest son of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff hanged himself by a dog leash in his Manhattan apartment on Saturday, the second anniversary of his father's arrest in a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme that swindled thousands of investors of their life savings, law enforcement officials said.
Mark Madoff, 46, was found hanging from a ceiling pipe in the living room of his SoHo loft apartment as his 2-year-old son slept in a nearby bedroom, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
The law enforcement officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the death.
Madoff, who reported his father to authorities, has never been criminally charged in the biggest investment fraud in U.S. history, that has snared a half-dozen Madoff employees.
Mark Madoff and his brother Andrew have said they were unaware of their father's crimes. But they have remained under investigation and been named in multiple investor lawsuits accusing them of profiting from the scheme.
But a third law enforcement official said Saturday that Madoff's arrest was not imminent, and that investigators pursuing possible charges against him, his brother and uncle hadn't contacted him for more than a year. The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mark Madoff killed himself on Saturday, said his lawyer, Martin Flumenbaum.
"This is a terrible and unnecessary tragedy," Flumenbaum said in a written statement. "Mark was an innocent victim of his father's monstrous crime who succumbed to two years of unrelenting pressure from false accusations and innuendo."
A lawyer for Mark's mother, Ruth Madoff, said, "She's heartbroken." The lawyer, Peter Chavkin, had no further comment.[/release]
Looks like Madoff made off with his life.

That fucking sucks, but killing yourself is selfish and you hurt everyone around you.
And thanks for doing what the OP should have and posted the article, hearts to you!
This just in:
Mazda Miada 98, car of Bernard Madoff, stolen, and then found at 156 Example Avenue, street, of Springdale.
You would expect Bernard to kill himself
Gotta suck living with the guilt of knowing your father is a multi-billion con-artist, partly responsible for the recession, and being targeted by other people as a scapegoat.
Let's hope Bernie follows suit.
I hope Bernie is happy.
[B]Thee[/B] Bernard Madoff?
Who is [I]thee[/I] Bernard Madoff?
Oh, nevermind, somebody posted the article.
