An attorney who served in the Clinton administration was found dead Thursday in an apparent suicide at his Washington law office.
Kilpatrick Stockton, an Atlanta firm, confirmed in a statement that attorney Mark Levy had died.
"Mark Levy was well known and highly respected for his successful appearances before the Supreme Court of the United States," said Bill Dorris, the firm's co-managing partner.
Levy was a deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice between 1993 and 1995 and served five years in the Solicitor General's office.
D.C. Police spokeswoman Helen Andrews said officers were called to an office building where the firm is located to investigate a shooting Thursday morning. She said investigators believe it was a suicide.
Levy attended Yale University's law school with former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and more recently worked on fundraising for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, said Dennis Gingold, an attorney who was working with Levy on a case.
"I don't know anyone who isn't shocked by what just happened," Gingold said. "He was a good guy. He really was professional, first class."
During his career, Levy had argued 16 cases before the Supreme Court. At Kilpatrick Stockton, he served as counsel and chair of the firm's Supreme Court and appellate advocacy practice. Levy, who was married and has two children, lived in Bethesda, Md.
The firm had announced this week that 24 lawyers would be laid off, but it wasn't immediately clear whether Levy had been affected by staff cuts.
The death comes after the chief financial officer of mortgage giant Freddie Mac killed himself last week. David Kellermann was found dead April 22 in the basement of his northern Virginia home. Colleagues had noticed he was under stress and had suggested he take time off.

The others each seem to have disappeared into some unknown "legacy" archive.
I have been able to find all of these in one form or another by using Google to find cross postings made by others. And now I have taken your advice and saved those not yet deleted.

Yes, that was a blessing.
He was fired two days before. I think that explains a lot.
Levy was a well heeled, highly priced operator in the Dem world. Being "fired" is nothing to these types.
There is more to this story, bet on it.
You are correct. The MSM mantra changed about a week after the death, following the WH lead. Of course, that armchair postmortem psychoanalysis was, in retrospect, an important element in a vast, multifaceted cover-up.
