Former ABN AMRO CFO probably dead-family statement

Huibert Boumeester, who also was the one-time CEO of ABN AMRO Asset Management and a Dutch national, went missing on June 22. London's Metropolitan Police said at the time that two of his guns were missing as well.

"On Sunday June 28 we learned that the body which has been found in Windsor, Berkshire in all likelihood is Huib," Dutch communication agency Maas De Vries said in an emailed statement on behalf of Boumeester's family.

The former ABN AMRO CFO apparently killed himself, Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported, citing unnamed sources.

"We are deeply shocked by what we can assume has been a tragic ending," the family's statement said.

In a statement on Monday, Britain's Thames Valley Police would say only that the unidentified body of a man was found Sunday morning in Winkfield, about 48 kilometres (30 miles) west of London. He apparently died of gunshot wounds.

The communication agency said the police investigation and identification process had not yet been officially concluded and therefore Boumeester's family could only respond with reserve.

An ABN spokeswoman told Reuters the bank had no information on Boumeester's reported death, but that its thoughts were with his family.

Spokespeople for Royal Bank of Scotland, which led a consortium that acquired ABN in 2007, were not available to comment.
