Suicide Suspected In Death Of Alleged Olint Investor
Suicide is suspected in the death yesterday morning of one Brian Lee, at his home on East Avenue in Kingston. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Lee (who happens to be the son of Brasco Lee, a former Jamaica Labour Party member of Parliament and junior minister for agriculture) was an investor in the Olint investment scheme, and that he took his life because he lost a hefty sum when the investment scheme crashed in 2008.
According to the police, Lee was found dead at his home at about 6:45 a.m. His neighbours reported that they had not seen him since Sunday, and thus they forced open his door and found his body. His licensed 9mm pistol was reportedly found beside his body, which had a single gunshot wound to the head.
