David Kellermann, who was the acting Chief Financial Officer of Freddie Mac, was found by police this morning after is appeared he had taken his own life by suicide. Kellerman has been in the position since 2008. The AP reports:

Mary Ann Jennings, director of public information for the Fairfax County, Va., Police Department, said Kellermann was found dead in his Reston, Va., home. The 41-year-old Kellermann has been Freddie Mac's chief financial officer since September.

Jennings said that a crime scene crew and homicide detectives were investigating the death, but that there didn't appear to be any sign of foul play.

McLean-based Freddie Mac has been criticized heavily for reckless business practices that some argue contributed to the housing and financial crisis. Freddic Mac is a government-controlled company that owns or guarantees about 13 million home loans. CEO David Moffett resigned last month.

Kellerman was brought into the role overseeing the company's finances after the government took over the company last year.
