The brother of an investment banker killed in Hong Kong in what became known as the "milkshake murder" was found dead Monday in his Connecticut home, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan said.
Spokeswoman Bridget Kelly said "we can confirm" that Andrew Kissel, 46, a real estate developer who lived in Greenwich, was dead.
Police in Greenwich said they found a dead man in Kissel's residence at 10 Dairy Road. Lt. Daniel Allen, spokesman for the Greenwich police, said officers were called to Kissel's house by a man known to them. He said the cause of death had not been determined.
Kissel had criminal cases pending in federal and state courts in New York. The federal case charged him with real estate fraud, and state prosecutors charged him with grand larceny, alleging he stole nearly $4 million from his Manhattan apartment co-operative.
Kissel was the brother of Robert Kissel, a wealthy banker whose wife, Nancy, was convicted of murder in Hong Kong in September 2005 after feeding him a milkshake laced with drugs and then beating him to death in November 2003.
Andrew Kissel and his recently estranged wife, Hayley, had cared for Robert Kissel's three children until they were formally handed over to the custody of the Kissels' sister who lives near Seattle.
State prosecutors said Kissel was wearing an electronic monitoring anklet, which allowed him to leave home and travel only to certain places without sending an alarm.
