Noticed a bunch of crime scene tape in a trash can near this building last night around 7:30pm and wondered if anything happened. Must have occurred early Thursday evening.
OMG, I lived in that building for years. Any identification of the jumper?

Many years ago my boss jumped from a window. It still haunts me to this day. She was an incredible person. So sad when this happens.
Night? Must have been afternoon. My son is a student on that block and saw the covered body.
I rode my bike past there at 5:17pm and there were detectives and uniform police officers all over.
Lots of jumpers lately on the UWS. My heart breaks for their families. How about if we give our neighbors a little smile today?
Thursday afternoon is right. Blaze Mancillas tweeted it at 2:43 pm.
Was she identified?
