Scotland Yard said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Danish-born Christen Schnor, 49, who was found at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge, west London.

Mr Schnor leaves a wife and two children. A spokesman for HSBC said: "Our thoughts are with his family and we will do all we can to help them at this difficult time."

Mr Schnor studied at Henley Management College and graduated in 1994. He joined HSBC in June 2007 when he was appointed head of insurance with responsibilities for Europe and the Middle East.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said it had been called to reports of a man found hanging.

"A post-mortem examination will take place in due course. His death is being treated as non-suspicious."
