Freddie Mac CFO found dead in apparent suicide

The acting chief financial officer for Freddie Mac was found dead in his Vienna home early Tuesday in an apparent suicide, according to Fairfax County police.

David Kellermann, 41, had served as the top financial officer for the government-run mortgage insurer since the government take over in September.

Police said there were no signs of foul play.

The McLean-based Federal Home Mortgage Corp. has lost billions. It received nearly $60 billion in government bailout funds.

Susan Unger, who lives across the street from the Kellermanns in the tree-lined Hunter Mills Estate, was awakened about 4:30 a.m. by a fire truck, an ambulance and five police cars outside her home.

“I would have never thought that this would happen,” Unger told The Examiner. “They’re a wonderful family.”
