Stopping Brownian motion at its first crossing below −b, the nonnegative local martingale (Wt∧τ​+b)/b starts at one and ends at zero. The maximal identity for a continuous nonnegative local martingale tending to zero gives tail b/(b+x) for the stopped maximum, hence density b/(b+x)2 for x>0. There is no atom at zero.
