Thomas Gilbert, 70, founder of the Wainscott Capital Partners
Fund, was shot once in the head around 3:30 p.m. EST inside his
apartment bedroom, police said in a statement.
"Right now, we're looking to speak to his son, who was the last
person to see him alive," police spokesman Lieutenant John
Grimpel said. He did not identify the son.
The death has not been ruled a homicide, but will await a
coroner's findings. A .40-caliber handgun was recovered at the
scene, he said.
Gilbert, a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Business
School, founded Wainscott in 2011 and was the fund's chief
investment officer, according to a profile on the fund's
website.
Gilbert was a co-founder of Syzygy Therapeutics, a private
equity biotech asset acquisition fund, and left it in 2011 to
form Wainscott, the profile said.
