JP Morgan executive in fatal fall

Meanwhile British police on Tuesday said the fatal fall of a senior JP Morgan technology executive from the US bank's 33-storey tower in London was a "non-suspicious" incident.

The bank said Gabriel Magee had worked with them for a decade and they was "deeply saddened to have lost a member of the JP Morgan family."

Magee had not been a trader or a banker, the bank added.

Medics pronounced the 39-year-old dead at the scene after his body hit a lower 9th-floor roof and lay in view of witnesses for several hours.

Workers at London's high-rise Canary Wharf financial district, where the death occurred, expressed shock.

Several similar incidents in London since 2012 have prompted criticism of demands placed on financial service workers.
