A man was found dead Monday night after falling from a building on the Upper West Side, a police spokesperson confirmed to West Side Rag.

A 30-year-old man was discovered unresponsive, with injuries indicating a long fall, around 9:50 p.m. near 312 West 87th Street, between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, police said.

Emergency services pronounced him dead at the scene, NYPD added.

As of Tuesday morning, it is unclear what led up to the fall, and the investigation remains ongoing, police said.

This story will be updated, when more information is learned.

It was a tragic, horrific scene… A few of us tried to help, but it was obvious there was nothing to be done. His poor partner was inconsolable and will never be the same from this. So sad, I hope his soul is at peace.

I came out just after his partner found him and he told me what he knew. I waited with him, trying to calm him until police arrived. If you haven’t spoken to his partner, I can share with you what he told me, if that would be helpful.

I’d feel more comfortable to contact you directly. I don’t want to post on a public forum. How can I do that?
