A man has died after falling from JP Morgan’s European headquarters in London’s Canary Wharf.

The man, believed to be aged 39, was pronounced dead at the scene at 25 Bank Street just after 8am this morning.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the man was found on the ninth floor and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene.

@joshiherrmann it's not a nice view from level 12 of my building. The body is on the rooftop of level 9. So sad. — Emily B (@EmAboutLondon) January 28, 2014

‘We believe we know the identity of the deceased but await formal identification,’ said the spokesman.


‘No arrests have been made and the incident is being treated as non-suspicious at this early stage.

‘Officers from Tower Hamlets are investigating the circumstances.’

Sad. Someone jumped/fell at #JPMorgan #CanaryWharf @8am. A sorry view from my desk opposite. Still nobody approaching the body, very odd. — Andrew Lawrence (@YellowAL) January 28, 2014

J P Morgan declined to comment on whether the dead man was an employee.



A company spokeswoman said: ‘We are reviewing a very sad incident at 25 Bank Street this morning.’

The building in Canary Wharf has been the headquarters of the bank’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operation since July 2012, according to the company’s website.

A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: ‘We were called at 8.04am to Bank Street to reports of a person fallen from 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.’
