New York’s ABC Station WABC-TV was reported by the police about the condition in which the body of Thomas Gilbert Sr. was found. Gilbert had founded Wainscott Capital Partners, where he also acted as the managing member.
Gilbert’s son, Tommy Gilbert was held in custody for questioning after the recovery of his father’s dead body. According to NYPD Lt. Thomas Antonetti, Tommy, who is 30 years of age, was taken from his Manhattan apartment. The police suspected that the son could have an interest in the death of his father.

Reportedly, Gilbert and his son had an argument regarding Thomas Gilbert Jr.’s monthly allowance. The incident was told by Gilbert’s wife, Boyce to the police. She told the police that after she returned home from a dinner with his son on a Sunday afternoon, she found her husband’s dead body in the house. It was shot in the head with a gun, covered by the left hand, resting on his chest. But she claimed that it was a staged suicide and convicted her son of the act. Upon investigation, Thomas was also found to be in possession of a weapon that was linked to the death of his father.
