Police say victim shot himself seven or eight times with
a nail gun

A fourth financial services executive under or close to
an investigation in less than two weeks was found dead
in Colorado, where police said he committed suicide
using a nail gun in his Centennial, Colo., home.
American Title Services founder and CEO Richard Talley,
57, was under investigation by state insurance
regulators at the time of his death.
The death was reported by the Denver Post late Thursday.
This comes on the heels of three prominent bankers whose
deaths have been ruled suicides since late January, and
the disappearance of a Wall Street Journal oil markets
reporter, as first reported by HousingWire.
From the Denver Post:
A coroner's spokeswoman Thursday said Talley was found
in his garage by a family member who called authorities.
They said Talley died from seven or eight self-inflicted
wounds from a nail gun fired into his torso and head.
