German billionaire Adolf Merckle, one of the richest men in the world, has committed suicide after his business empire, which included interests ranging from drugs to cement, got into trouble in the global financial crisis, his family said Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2009 in a statement.
Merckle, 74, was hit by a train in the southwestern town of Ulm, police said.
His family said the economic crisis had “broken” Merckle.
He had fallen from number 44 to 94 on the Forbes 2007 rich list as his fortune declined from $12.8 billion to $9.2 billion in 2008.
Merckle’s business empire included interests as diverse as cement-maker HeidelbergCement and generic drug-maker Ratiopharm. But he lost hundreds of millions of dollars, including company capital, betting against Volkswagen stock last year.
The state government of Baden-Wuerttemberg rejected his petition for financial assistance, and he entered bailout talks with several German banks.
Merckle’s family had reported him missing earlier on Monday after he walked out of the house and did not return. An employee of Germany’s railroad company found the body on the tracks at about 7 p.m. the same day and notified authorities. Authorities are currently confirming his identity conducting DNA tests.
