Friedrich Pollack von Parnegg married twice, according to the article cited below. His second wife is mentioned as being a "Baronin Röver", granddaughter of the former Hungarian Minister for Trade, Hieronymi.
cf. an article (included under "Media") which appeared in the Neue Freie Presse, Wien, on 18th. March 1930, Friedrich shot himself in his office at the firm, "Hermann Pollack & Söhne", founded by his paternal grandfather, of whichhe was co- director - together with his remaining brothers, Felix and Otto. It is pointed out, however, that Friedrich's main interests were his social and sporting pursuits ...
He had gone into his own office at the firm prior to signing an important document and had not reappeared. No shot was heard but the door was found to be barricaded. When it was broken through, Friedrich was found lying in a poolof blood. He was rushed off to hospital with a life-threatening wound (and succumbed there are few days later clearly ...).
He left a suicide note in which he have the motive as being the fact that he was suffering from a painful dysfunction of his nervous system.
