London, UK – A 25-year-old Bank of America trader, Adnan Deumic, tragically died on Thursday evening during a charity soccer tournament. This comes just two weeks after the shocking death of Leo Lukenas III, a 35-year-old banker who had been working grueling 100-hour work weeks at the financial giant. Deumic collapsed while playing in the tournament and despite attempts to revive him, including administering CPR, he failed to respond.
Bank of America expressed their deep condolences and shock at the sudden loss of a young colleague. A spokesman for the bank stated, “The death of our teammate is a tragedy, and we are committed to providing our full support to Adnan’s family, his friends, and to our many employees grieving his loss.” There is currently no known connection between Deumic’s unexpected death and his work at the bank. He was hired in 2022 and worked on the Credit Portfolio and Algorithmic desk.
This tragic event marks the second death to strike Bank of America in the span of a month. Lukenas, a former Green Beret, died from acute coronary artery thrombus. Both deaths have left colleagues devastated,
While investigations are ongoing, the deaths of these two young professionals have raised questions about the demanding expectations faced by employees in the finance sector. A deeper examination of work conditions and the toll it takes on individuals’ health and well-being may be warranted to prevent further tragedies.
The bank has yet to comment on the specific circumstances surrounding Deumic’s death, and the cause of his cardiac arrest remains under investigation.
