Most other news outlets are saying this is an "apparent suicide", yet the last sentence below seems to indicate that Police are still investigating as possible homicide ... the "no weapon was found" is quite puzzling. Not sure if that means that no knife or razor blade was found, in which case it would HAVE to be a homicide ... wouldn't it?
US BANKER FOUND DEAD IN BATHTUB WITH THROAT SLIT
Reuters * Nov. 19, 2014
New York police are investigating the death of a man found with his throat slashed in a bathtub and identified by local media as a prominent banker, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Police responding to a 911 call discovered the lifeless body in an apartment in Manhattan's downtown financial district on Tuesday afternoon. The 42-year-old victim was declared dead at the scene. Police did not reveal his identity.
The New York Post said the victim was Shawn Miller, a managing director at Citigroup
Citigroup said Miller was the managing director of its environment and social risk management team.
"We are deeply saddened by this news and our thoughts are with Shawn's family at this time," Citigroup said in a statement.
There were no signs of forced entry, no weapon was found and the motive remains unknown, police said.

Especially when other more credible news outfits are saying "no weapon was found"

(19,326 posts)it was truly suicide.
So this guy slashed his wrists, cut his own throat and then put the knife under his own dead body?
From Daily News, it reports that a "man who Miller was arguing with in the elevator apparently left
the bankers apartment late Sunday or early Monday, sources. Miller called down to the lobby and
asked the doorman not to allow the man back into the building, according to sources."
Nope. Nothing suspicious here.
Oh, and did I mention that Mr. Miller just happened to be Citibank's "managing director of
environmental and social risk management"? .. also from the Daily News.
