An Apple employee who was found dead in a conference room at the company's headquarters killed himself, police in California have confirmed.
Edward Mackowiak died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, but it is not clear what led him to take his own life.
The 25-year-old was a software engineer based at Apple's Silicon Valley campus according to his LinkedIn profile, which was recently taken down.
After Mr Mackowiak's body was found on Wednesday, the company issued a statement saying: "We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of a young and talented co-worker.
"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends, including the many people he worked with here at Apple."
More than 16,000 people work at the company's Infinite Loop headquarters in Cupertino, but a new campus is being built elsewhere in the city.
