   A prominent banker was found dead in the tub of his posh   
   downtown apartment with his throat slashed — in what detectives   
   suspect is a suicide, police sources said on Wednesday.   
      
   Shawn D. Miller, 42, who traveled the world for Citigroup as one   
   of its top environmental policy experts, sliced his neck and   
   wrists with a knife inside his home at 120 Greenwich St, the   
   sources said.   
      
   His body was found by a doorman Tuesday, after his boyfriend   
   called building operators and said he was worried for the   
   banker’s safety.   
      
   Miller was last seen on surveillance video getting off an   
   elevator at about 6 p.m. Monday with a mysterious man who was   
   not his beau. The unidentified male was later spotted on camera   
   leaving alone.   
      
   Investigators, however, believe the death is a suicide because   
   of the nature of the wounds and the fact a knife was found under   
   his body, sources said.   
      
   The doorman who found Miller’s body, Tommy Perez, told   
   investigators that he went to the victim’s apartment on Tuesday   
   afternoon after getting a call from a concerned man who claimed   
   to be the banker’s boyfriend, the sources said.   
      
   Miller had built a successful career in assessing the risk of   
   investments.   
      
   In 2011, Citigroup promoted Miller to an executive position as   
   managing director of environmental and social risk management.   
      
   Miller, who had previously worked for the World Bank, traveled   
   frequently for Citigroup and was instrumental in designing   
   Equator Principles, which banks widely use for establishing   
   voluntary environmental policies.   
      
   The bank sent out a note Wednesday informing staff of Miller’s   
   death.   
      
   “It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of   
   our friend and colleague Shawn Miller,” read the note.   
      
   “Shawn joined Citi in 2004 and was highly regarded at Citi and   
   across the financial services industry as a thought leader and   
   tireless advocate for environmental and sustainable business   
   practices. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to Shawn’s family,   
   friends and co-workers during this difficult time. He will be   
   greatly missed by all who knew him.”   
      
   The sudden death spooked residents in the building.   
      
   Resident Raul Melgoza, 42, said, “I saw it in the news. I just   
   couldn’t believe it happened in the building.   
      
   “It’s a pretty quiet building although it’s changed a lot from   
   buyers to more renters. I see a lot of new faces, young college   
   kids.”
