- Joshua Pack, 51, co-CEO of the $50 billion investment firm Fortress, was found dead in a locked bedroom of his rented London mansion on September 29 last year.
- An inquest heard Pack and his wife had a "screaming" argument the night before, during which both threatened self-harm, after drinking and discussing plane tickets.
- Pack, who was relocating to London to lead Fortress's European expansion, was under significant stress from his new project and had a history of impulsive behavior.
- Household staff discovered Pack's body after breaking into the locked room, which had no other key, following his wife's departure for the airport, believing he had checked in for a flight.
- Senior Coroner Professor Fiona Wilcox ruled Pack's death a "misadventure," stating there was insufficient evidence of intent to classify it as suicide, attributing it instead to an impulsive act influenced by stress, alcohol, and jet lag.
