Jewish man jumped to his death from Empire State Building in apparent suicide
A 21-year-old man jumped to his death from the Empire State Building in an apparent suicide, police said Thursday.
Dovid Abramowitz, who lived in Manhattan, had bought a ticket to the 86th-floor observation deck, but he found his way to a vacant office on the 66th floor, where he jumped around 3 p.m. Wednesday, said police spokesman Lt. John Grimpel. His body was discovered on a sixth-floor landing.
Abramowitz did not work in the building, said Detective John Sweeney. Sweeney did not know how the man reached the 66th floor office.
More than 30 people have committed suicide at the Empire State Building since it opened in 1931. Before Wednesday, the most recent was believed to have been in 2004, when a man jumped from the observation deck.
The 102-story skyscraper reaches 1,454 feet to the top of its lightning rod.
