Wall Street big shot Seth Tobias was mysteriously found dead yesterday in the swimming pool of his Florida mansion, police said.

Tobias' wife found the well-regarded CNBC commentator's body about 1 a.m., floating facedown in his pool in an exclusive section of Jupiter, Fla., near Palm Beach.

"I don't want anybody to jump to any conclusions," said Sgt. Scott Pascarella, a spokesman for the Jupiter police. "We aren't even classifying it as a suspicious death at this point."

There were no obvious signs of foul play.

Cops said an autopsy would be performed to determine how the brash moneyman died. "It's unusual because of his age," Pascarella said of the 44-year-old.

Tobias, who also had homes on E. 53rd St. and the Jersey Shore, ran the Circle T Partners hedge fund and managed $250 million in assets.

3. Could this be related to the three Repug operatives

that were killed (murder/suicide was the current working theory)???

Or could it be that his hedge fund was "trimmed" and folks are about to find out.

We wonders, we wonders.
