The 55-year-old banker who okayed $100 million loan that helped Trump buy his Doral golf resort, hanged himself, a medical examiner's report says.
Starting in the late 1990s, at a time when most other banks would not lead him money, Donald Trump found a financial lifeline in the German-based Deutsche Bank, which loaned him approximately $1 billion. Now, the Deutsche Bank executive who would have signed off on many of the loans to Trump has died, reportedly taking his own life.
According to a report by the independent journalism site Forensic News, Thomas Bowers died on November 19 at his home in Malibu, California. Citing a Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s report, Forensic News founder Scott Stedman reported that Bowers committed suicide by hanging. The former Deutsche Bank exec was 55 years old.

More in general! There is a story under this tragedy, and some enterprising journalist will dig it out, I'm sure. It may be nothing … or everything.
If his body is riddled with terminal cancer, then it probably is no story. In such a case I blame the cancer and not the noose (or gun, poison, sharp objects, fall... whatever).
We do not have the full story... I would be ahead of myself to figure that President Trump's business dealings would be subject to an impeachment inquiry of any kind.
I am unfamiliar with this news source. Sometimes the non-mainstream media find something out first. This man would not merit inclusion were it not for potential scandal. This fellow at worst would be fired with a golden parachute, and he could live very well with a trophy wife, a mansion, sports cars, fine wines, etc. On the other hand, if he was involved in corrupt dealings, a federal prosecution might loom.
As a general rule, the countries that are desirable places in which to live extradite people for financial malfeasance.
