Bernie Madoff was in prison when his 46-year-old son Mark Madoff killed himself. While Mark’s wife of six years Stephanie took their 4-year-old daughter Audrey to Disney World, Mark stayed behind in their Soho loft and took care of their 22-month-old son Nicholas. While in Florida, Stephanie received two emails from Mark. One had the subject: Help. He told her to send someone to take care of the baby. The second email just had the subject line: I love you. Mark hung himself in their apartment.
