German billionaire said to commit suicide after VW losses

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Adolf Merckle committed suicide following millions of euros in losses over a bet the German billionaire placed against Volkswagen shares, according to published reports on Tuesday.

The newspaper Die Welt said the 74-year-old Merckle was hit by a train near his home in southwestern Germany.
Police have ruled out any third-party involvement, the report said.
His family said Merckle ended his life after the financial crisis “broke” him, according to other reports.

Merckle was reported to have lost 400 million euros on the bad VW trade. He also was struggling to finance his roughly 80% stake in Heidelbergcement.
Last week, his holding firm, VEM, had reached a deal with 40 banks to give him more time to repay debt.
Shares of Heidelbergcement dropped 6% in late trading in Frankfurt.
