A 56-year-old man is believed to have jumped to his death from a tony Upper East Side building Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The man – who was not immediately identified – is thought to have leaped from the fourth floor of 18 East 67th Street, just steps away from the coveted high-end shopping stretch of Madison Avenue, police said.
He was found on the sidewalk at 7:19 a.m., and was pronounced dead on arrival at Weill Cornell Medical Center.
The man left a suicide note, according to police at the scene.
By 9 a.m., the area around the scene was still cordoned off while police talked to the building’s superintendent.
A window on the top floor of the building appeared to be about a quarter of the way open – though it was not clear if that was where the man jumped from.
The East 67th Street address was built in 1905 and has eight units – including a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment that rented for $9,000 per month last year, according to StreetEasy.
