Henryk Santocki, 37, was discovered by colleagues at CKFT Solicitors in Hampstead, in the early hours of 9 January, after he had been working late.

The senior associate, also called Scott, is thought to have been suffering from stress.

His colleagues today paid tribute to the "dedicated" professional, who joined the company last September. Graham Kaye, a partner at CKFT, said: "Although Scott was only with us for a short time all the staff have been deeply affected by his death. Our thoughts are with his wife and family."

An inquest is due to be held at St Pancras coroner's court.

The death comes after another corporate lawyer is believed to have killed herself because of pressure at work.

The body of Catherine Bailey, who had three daughters, was pulled from near Richmond Bridge on 10 January. Ms Bailey, 41, who worked for SJ Berwin in the City, had told her hospital consultant husband she felt under stress.
