A man jumped into the void from the penthouse of the Gotham Hotel yesterday in the Jewelry District of Midtown Manhattan (NYC), next to the Colombian Consulate.
The 47-year-old victim fell from the 25th floor – the hotel’s highest floor – just before 6:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the NYPD. He landed on the 2nd floor at the rear of the building, where he was pronounced dead at the scene.
NYPD is investigating the case as a suicide. The unidentified man is the latest in a series of people who have jumped from the top floor of that hotel located at 16 East 46th St where the daily rates at the PH cost more than $1,000 dollars, he said. New YorkPost.
In 2018, former Playboy model Stephanie Adams jumped with her 7-year-old son from the upper suite of that same hotel in the middle of a child custody battle with her ex-chiropractor husband.
This summer, several days after a body was found after falling from the roof of the luxurious “Mandarin Oriental” hotel across from New York’s Central Park, he was identified as a 17-year-old teenager who had been reported missing by his family in New Jersey.
