CNN Reports: Steven Good, Real estate power broker dead of apparent suicide

I just read on CNN that Steven Good, described as a Real Estate mogul, was found dead, sitting in his Jaguar on Monday. They have no idea how long he had been there and it appears that he shot himself.

This man was chairman and chief executive officer of a major real estate auction company, did business with Donald Trump and wrote a book. Everything that I've read about him says good things. The article went on to say that he was a leader, generous and had a very positive attitude.

I know things are tough right now and folks are stressed. I just find it so, so sad when someone thinks there is no other way out other than to commit suicide.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Good's family, friends and business associates.

Sad, sad indeed. In all likelihood it had nothing to do with the real estate recession.

So sad to hear. Something deeper had to make him decide to do this.

That was my thought, too, Lenn. Especially after reading what others had to say about him.

Hi Nancy, I have been so crazy busy that I missed the broadcast...usually there are underlying issues but that doesn't mean the families suffering is any easier.

I wonder if he got caught up in the ponzi scheme with so many other powerful people and lost everything. Sad though that someone that was such a real estate power house with great information had to leave us.
