Greenspan's Body Count: Bang bang in Bangor - Gil Weber of Weber Mortgage

Today's episode of Greenspan's Body Count comes from the hometown of horror writer Stephen King: Bangor, Maine. Mortgage broker Gilbert Weber's business had hit hard times in the aftermath of Greenspan's bubble, so he did what so many others have done before him:
Police on Tuesday confirmed that 64-year-old Brewer businessman Gilbert Weber died Monday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his business, Weber Mortgage in Bangor. His death has been ruled a suicide.

Sgt. Paul Edwards of the Bangor Police Department said additional information is unlikely to be made available to the public, including the type of weapon used or whether Weber left a suicide note. The policy protects the privacy of families affected by a loved one’s suicide, he said.

A person who answered the phone Tuesday at the home of Weber and his wife, Carolyn, said “no comment” before disconnecting the call.

Police responded just after 1 p.m. Monday to reports that a despondent person with a high-powered weapon was alone in the Weber Mortgage building on Broadway in Bangor. Traffic was blocked along the busy four-lane street as police surrounded the building and attempted to make contact with whoever was inside. When they finally stormed the building at about 3:40 p.m., Weber already had taken his life, Edwards said.

Marc Reynolds, a former employee of Weber Mortgage, said Monday that “tough economic times” have weakened the mortgage brokerage industry and that Weber brokers were looking for work with other firms. The company, which Weber founded in 2000, recently had merged with Jacob Dean Mortgage Inc. of Vienna, Va.
