A banker has died after jumping from the top of JP Morgan's headquarters in London this morning.
The man, who is believed to be 39, fell from the 33 floor skyscraper and was found on the ninth floor roof of the Canary Wharf building.
JP Morgan, the world's largest bank by assets, refused to reveal what role the deceased had there, although a source told MailOnline he was a banker.
He was pronounced dead at the scene at 25 Bank Street just after 8am.
'We believe we know the identity of the deceased but we await formal identification', Scotland Yard said.
Canary Wharf workers were tweeting what they saw this morning and their shock at the death.
Hetal Patel said: 'The 9th floor roof of JP Morgan is visible from my office window. For a long time the body was left cordoned & unattended'.
Another wrote online: 'It's not a nice view from my building. The body is on the rooftop of level 9. So sad.
'The body is still lying there though. We are baffled as to why.'
A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: 'We were called to Bank Street to reports of a person fallen form a height.
'We sent one ambulance crew, a duty officer, our hazardous area response team and London Air Ambulance to the scene.
'Sadly a man in his 30s was pronounced dead at the scene.'
