WEF Chief Security Officer Dies in Probable Suicide (Update2)
By Jana Randow
Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) -- The World Economic Forum’s chief security officer was found dead in his hotel room this morning after a probable suicide, the local government said.
Markus Reinhardt, who headed the Grison canton’s police service for 26 years, died today, said the World Economic Forum Committee for the Government of the Canton Grisons in an e- mailed statement.
“All indications point to suicide,” the e-mail said. It didn’t provide further details because the investigation is ongoing.
More than 2,500 political, business and financial leaders are gathering in Davos, Switzerland, this week for the 40th World Economic Forum. Attendees include European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The first deputy of the regional policy, Robert Willi, will assume command on an interim basis, the e-mail said. Marcel Suter will be assigned to lead overall deployment of security personnel for the conference, it said.
