Mortgage finance company Freddie Mac, coping with the apparent suicide of its acting chief financial officer, said its former chief executive was coming back temporarily to help oversee the company’s finances.

David Moffett, the former government-appointed CEO who resigned from Freddie Mac in March, will return as a consultant to John Koskinen, the company’s interim CEO, aiding him with producing financial statements.
