A woman fell to her death from a luxury Midtown Manhattan high-rise on Sunday morning, police said.
A 911 caller reported the fall around 11:30 a.m., and officers found a woman lying on the ground outside Cannon Pointe South, a co-op at 45 Sutton Place on the East River.
Police said the woman had injuries that appeared to be caused by a fall from a height.
Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene, and authorities are still investigating her death. Officials said it was not immediately clear whether she jumped.
Police added that her name is not being released pending notification of her family.
The woman is just one of several New Yorkers to have died from falls in the city over the past few weeks.
On October 12, an 80-year-old woman jumped to her death from an Upper East Side apartment building and was decapitated when her body hit the side of the building during the fall, police and witnesses said.
“The head and arm were cut off cleanly on the other side and fell onto the terrace,” a resident of the building told the Post.
On the same day, a 52-year-old man apparently committed suicide by jumping from the 17th floor balcony of a 22-story building in Chelsea, leaving his heartbroken wife crying on the sidewalk.
And last week, a man was injured when he jumped from the second floor of Trump Tower in Midtown shortly after NYPD officers asked him to leave the building.
The man, who was acting erratically, chose to jump over the railing and fell into the lobby one floor below.
He suffered unexplained injuries from the fall and was subsequently intubated at the hospital.
