Mark Madoff, the eldest son of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff, was found hanged in his SoHo apartment on the second anniversary of his father’s arrest.

Emergency services were called to 46-year-old Mark Madoff’s SoHo apartment in New York at around 7.30am after his father-in-law discovered his body hanging from a dog collar secured to a pipe in the living room. His two-year-old son was sleeping in the next-door bedroom.
