A man who started a biotech hedge fund and grew it to a business with $200 million in assets was found shot to death in his upscale Manhattan apartment.
Thomas Gilbert, 70, founded the biotech and healthcare-focused hedge fund, Wainscott Capital Partners Fund, in 2011.
His wife found his body in their 8th-floor apartment about 3:30 p.m Sunday. He had been shot in the head, police said.

The murder sent cops fanning out across the tony Sutton Place neighborhood seeking the son, Thomas Gilbert Jr., who fled the scene on foot and headed to his W. 18th St. pad, officials said.
The son, 30, was captured about 10:45 p.m. after cops in riot gear chopped down the door of his ground-floor apartment and found him hiding inside, officials said.
He was taken away in handcuffs, but a motive for the alleged patricide remained unclear. Gilbert Jr., a Princeton grad, showed no emotion and appeared stone-faced as cops took him to the 17th Precinct stationhouse for questioning.
