Tragic: Less than three weeks after this photo of Nico Lambrechts and his wife Adele was posted online, the investment analyst fell 80ft to his death
He appeared to have the perfect life. Pictured on a recent tropical holiday, Nico Lambrechts looked a relaxed and contented family man as he posed with his wife.
But less than three weeks after he posted this photograph on the internet, the investment analyst fell 80ft to his death from an exclusive open-air restaurant in London.
The successful 46-year-old took a lift to Sir Terence Conran’s Coq d’Argent at lunchtime and then fell through the atrium within the building.
He landed next to diners who were enjoying lunch at cafes and bars in a shopping complex at the bottom of the building in the City.
Medics reached him within minutes but were unable to save him. He was pronounced dead by a doctor at the scene minutes later.
Mr Lambrechts is thought to have made the short walk to the restaurant from his office at Investec Asset Management in the Square Mile.
Last night neighbours said they were baffled as to why a devoted family man would want to potentially commit suicide.
His wife Adele was too distressed to talk about her loss.
But a neighbour said: ‘He was a really great guy.’
When asked about the reason behind the possible suicide, he said: ‘You never know. He was a random man, unpredictable – you know.’
Mr Lambrechts lived with his wife and three children in a £2million six-bedroom gated home in the upmarket town of Cobham, Surrey.
He took his family on luxury holidays to destinations such as Venice.
The banker’s death last week is the fourth to have occurred at the restaurant and the second in as many months.
In May 2007, City employee Richard Ford, 33, died after he plunged from the terrace onto a bus.
In July 2009 stockbroker Anjool Malde, 24, leapt to his death from the venue holding a glass of champagne after being suspended from his job at Deutsche Bank.
