A pioneering female hedge-fund manager was found dead in her $1.6 million condo at Trump Plaza in West Palm Beach, Fla., hours after police responded to a loud domestic dispute with her husband, a Wall Street financial guru who has often appeared on CNN, CNBC and Bloomberg TV.

DailyMail.com has learned that E. Lee Hennessee, 64, was found by her husband and business partner, stock markets media pundit and millionaire Charles Gradante, when he returned home Saturday allegedly after spending the night at a local hotel.

The 71-year-old Gradante, according to a law enforcement source, left the condo for the night late Friday after Hennessee called West Palm Beach Police during a domestic spat.

Cops responded to their 24th floor condo.

When cops arrived, they saw no sign of violence but noticed Hennessee appeared to have been drinking heavily.

The source said Hennessee was so drunk that the police officers worried about her health and called a West Palm Beach Fire Rescue ambulance.

Paramedics checked on Hennessee in the apartment but did not take her to the hospital.

Hennessee was allegedly left alone for the night.

When Gradante returned about noon Saturday, he reported finding her dead on the floor of the living room.

Her body was taken to the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. Final results won’t be known for several weeks.

West Palm Police Spokeswoman Lori Colombino confirmed a woman was found dead at Trump Plaza but didn’t identify her. She also said the death is not considered suspicious.

Family spokesman Chase Scott confirmed Hennessee passed away and said Gradante was her partner in all senses of the word.

'It wasn’t just a marriage,' Scott said. 'They were partners in life and business and in their outreach to help those experiencing strife and prejudice. Lee was a Christian and a true woman of faith.'

Gradante and Hennessee were married in 1992. For each, it was a second marriage.

Soon, they partnered in the business world as well and created the Hennessee Group, which in the late 1990s, ran a hedge fund with $1.6 billion in investors’ money.

Hennessee made her place in a man’s world of high finance at a time when women rarely became hedge fund managers. By 2007, she was named one of New York’s 50 most powerful women by New York magazine.

Hennesse was also involved in charities as well as politics. She was the campaign chair of Republican presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole in 1999.

Hennessee and Gradante were spending an increasing amount of time in the Palm Beach area since they sold the company in 2012.

They first bought in the luxury West Palm condo building once owned by presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2001, according to records.
