Coroner concludes virtual currency CEO took her own life
The US CEO of a virtual currency exchange took her own life last year in Singapore because of work and personal issues, a coroner’s court has found.
The death of 28-year-old Autumn Radtke on February 26 triggered media interest because it occurred not long after the collapse of the Mt Gox bitcoin exchange in Tokyo.
The coroner’s report said Ms Radtke was “determined to end her life and had made concerted efforts toward facilitating this outcome”.
Details of the coroner’s findings were reported on the website of the Singapore state news broadcaster Channel NewsAsia.
The report said Ms Radtke died from multiple injuries sustained in a fall from a Singapore apartment building.
