A top business associate of former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn committed suicide in Tel Aviv on Thursday, according to numerous reports.

Thierry Leyne, a banker who held dual French and Israeli citizenship, reportedly leapt to his death from his 23rd-floor luxury apartment in central Tel Aviv. He was 48 years old.

According to The New York Times, Leyne and Strauss-Kahn formed an investment banking firm, LSK and Partners, last year.

Strauss-Kahn began work last year as economic adviser to the Serbian government, his latest incarnation since a sex scandal cost him his job and ruined his French presidential ambitions.

Strauss-Kahn who has been initially engaged for three months and will take no salary, told a news conference that he and his team had "no magic wand or silver bullet" for the shaky economy of the European Union candidate.
