A French investment manager who put $1.4bn (£1bn) into Bernard Madoff's fraud-hit scheme has committed suicide in his New York office, police said.

Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, 65, was found sitting at his desk with both wrists slashed, New York police spokesman Paul Browne said.

A bottle of sleeping pills was on his desk and a box cutter lay on the floor.

Mr Madoff is accused of running a $50bn (£34bn) Ponzi scheme that wiped out investors around the world.

Big funds like Mr Villehuchet's were especially hard hit.

Paris newspaper La Tribune said he spent the past week trying "day and night to find a way to recoup his investors' money".

Mr Villehuchet, who was married without children, was co-founder of money manager Access International. - source: BBC

Short is life in exchange for eternity. Worry about the financial resources of others,it seems to me, would amount  to thinking about what other are enjoying... Leave this worrying to the One who can move all, for He is the Lord of money and of those who earn money. Saint Teresa of Avila
