A 29-year-old man was found dead Wednesday morning in the courtyard of an Upper West Side building, a police spokesperson confirmed to West Side Rag.

The man was found around 11:40 a.m. in the courtyard of 65 West 90th Street, between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West, police said.

Medics deemed his injuries consistent with a long fall, but police said it remained unclear how that fall had happened.

The medical examiner will determine the official cause of death.

The Rag will update this story when more information is learned.

    I do hope it was some kind of accident. Whatever the cause of death, condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. I cannot imagine.
