Fandango Founder Falls 17 Floors to His Death
The entire country was in shock on Thursday when the passing of Fandango founder J. Michael Cline was announced.
Cline reportedly jumped to his death on Tuesday at The Kimberly Hotel in Manhattan.
Cline jumped from the 20th floor, and landed in the third-floor courtyard.
He’s Gone
Cline had some recent medical issues, but was that what made him jump?
According to reports, Cline had gallbladder surgery just a few days before he committed suicide.
In his suicide note, he wrote, "So sorry. I can’t explain the pain of f****** up this much. I love you all."
Cline was only 64 years old and had more cash than he could ever spend in this lifetime.
He cashed in big after launching the movie-ticket app Fandango, and was more recently the managing partner of Accretive, a startup funding firm.
The entrepreneur had multi-million dollar homes in Palm Beach, FL, and the Hamptons.
In addition to his startup firm, Cline was the chairman of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and executive chairman of Juxtapose, which also works with startup companies.
The Harvard alumnus, according to the New York Post, founded the “tech solutions firm R1 RCM, along with the small business insurance firm Insureon, and the education solutions company Everspring.”
The businessman leaves behind his wife, Pamela, and six children.
As of this report, his wife has not made any public comments on the shocking death of her husband.
