Carter McIntosh, a 28-year-old associate at Jefferies, died from an accidental drug overdose involving fentanyl and cocaine, as confirmed by the Dallas medical examiner. Following his death, which sparked negative online speculation regarding Jefferies' work environment, CEO Richard Handler defended the bank against these attacks, expressing condolences to McIntosh's family and colleagues. Handler emphasized the importance of avoiding speculation while the circumstances surrounding his death were still not fully understood, and spoke of the profound sadness felt by the bank's community.
The 28-year-old banker whose death led to "vitriolic online attacks" on Jefferies died from the "toxic effects" of fentanyl and cocaine, the Dallas medical examiner said.
