A man who fell to his death from a balcony at Tate Modern worked in Canary Wharf as a commercial banking manager, it has been revealed. Michael Foreman, 48, was an employee at HSBC's head office.

Witnesses described their horror as they watched him fall from a balcony at the member's room on to the pavement just before 6pm last Tuesday.

A spokesman for HSBC confirmed he had been reported missing the day before he died. He said: "Our thoughts are with his wife, Janet, and his family at this very sad time."

A Tate Modern spokeswoman said: "Police are investigating the incident."
