The bank said it is "deeply saddened" by the death. The death of an intern working for Bank of America Merrill Lynch in London has sparked a debate over working hours and conditions for young people. Moritz Erhardt, a German student, was working at the bank as part of a summer internship programme. He was found dead last week in his student residence.

He suffered from epilepsy, but the cause of death is currently not known. Bank of America Merrill Lynch said it was "deeply shocked and saddened". It is not clear whether the year-old's death was related to reported long working hours at the bank. Poplar Mortuary coroner's office in East London said information on the cause of Mr Erhardt's death would be released in four to five weeks, but the police said it is not being treated as suspicious.

Workers and interns in the banking sector tend to opt out of the European Working Time Directive, which limits employees to a maximum hour week. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development CIPD , which produces guidelines for HR professionals, said there was urgent need for a change of culture in the financial services industry regarding working hours and conditions.

Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaigns at the CIPD, said long working hours are an increasing issue for young people in the workplace. They need support and pastoral care," she said.
