A man jumped off of JP Morgan's Hong Kong headquarters to his death, according to George Chen of the South China Morning Post.
This comes at a delicate time for the financial industry, when a spate of deaths — mostly in London — have alarmed observers.
Witnesses say that police tried to stop the man from jumping from the 30 story building, 10 floors of which are used by JP Morgan, around 2:00 or 3:00 pm, but to no avail.  
UPDATE 7:58 am EST: JP Morgan has confirmed that the man who jumped was a 33 year-old employee at the firm with the last name Li. He was a junior investment banker.

Yet another banker has committed suicide, with a JP Morgan forex trader leaping to his death from the top of the firm’s Charter House headquarters in Hong Kong.

Over the past few weeks at least seven bankers have died under mysterious circumstances, including another JP Morgan senior manager who jumped off the top of a skyscraper in London last month.
Speculation is rife that the series of deaths are connected to some kind of looming financial crisis or a huge legal case targeting bankers for malfeasance, although no definite link has been established.
Eyewitnesses said that the man, who was in his 30′s, accessed the roof of the 30 story office tower and jumped, with police on the scene failing to talk him out of committing suicide. Charter House is JP Morgan’s main regional Asian office.
“According to several JP Morgan employees, the man was a forex trader with the company,” reports the South China Morning Post, adding that his surname was Lee. The bank itself refused to confirm that the man was an employee.
Lee becomes the 7th banker to suddenly die in recent weeks. Questions as to whether the deaths are merely a coincidence or are linked to some as yet unknown factor continue to swirl.
