According to a Bloomberg report;- "Seth Tobias, the managing member of hedge-fund firm Circle T Partners LP and a financial-news commentator, was found dead yesterday in the pool of his Florida mansion, police said. He was 44.

Tobias was discovered by his wife, Filomena, who called police to their home near Palm Beach, Florida, just before 1 a.m., said Jupiter police sergeant Scott Pascarella.

The death hasn't been classified as suspicious, Pascarella said. Results of the autopsy, which was conducted yesterday, won't be available for four to eight weeks, he said.

Tobias's family has a history of coronary disease, said Spence Tobias, Seth's brother and a money manager at Circle T.

``It was apparently a heart attack,'' he said by telephone from New York. Another brother, Sam, also works at the firm. "
