A 52-year-old man jumped to his death on Friday from the 18th floor of a swanky 57-story apartment building that costs up to $50 million in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.
According to a spokeswoman for the NYPD, calls came in about the jump at 56 Leonard Street near Church Street around 12:30 p.m.
Located at 56 Leonard Street in the fashionable Tribeca neighborhood, the building is topped with an impossible-looking jumble of misaligned floors that make it resemble a shaky Jenga tower.
The penthouse apartment in the building cost $50 million.
The city’s EMS officials responded to the incident and saw the man’s body carried away in a black body bag.
