Man Jumps From Empire State Building
From Times Wire Reports
A man jumped to his death from the 86th-floor observation deck at the Empire State Building, one of Manhattan’s busiest tourist destinations, police said.
The apparent suicide forced police to briefly close the landmark on Fifth Avenue to tourists here for the holiday weekend.
The man apparently climbed over a security fence that encloses the observation deck before leaping off. He hit a landing on the sixth floor, where he died instantly, police said. No identification was found on his body.
