The 60-year-old businessman was found dead in his Darkroom Beach condominium late Friday.  He had been shot in the head with a .380 pistol. 

Neighbors discovered Schillinger’s body that evening.  His entry way door had been left ajar.

The preliminary investigation is pointing to suicide, according to sources on the island. 

Gambling911.com was the first to report on Schillinger’s death Monday

World Sports Exchange is widely believed to owe customers more than $1 million.  The company has had solvency issues for at least the past two years.
