A 59-year-old lawyer with an Atlanta-based firm who was due to lose his job today for economic reasons was found dead in his Washington office this morning of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
Mark I. Levy, a former deputy assistant attorney general in the Clinton administration, was discovered by a co-worker about 8 a.m. in his 11th-floor office at Kilpatrick Stockton, in the 600 block of 14th Street NW, police said. They said evidence indicates that Levy shot himself in the head with a .38-caliber handgun.
