A man and his 3-year-old son plummeted to their deaths from a Manhattan apartment building, police said Sunday as they investigated what led to the tragedy.
Authorities said they received an emergency call reporting two jumpers from the 52-floor building on the Upper West Side around noon. Officers responding to the scene found the 35-year-old man and the boy on the rooftops of two separate nearby buildings.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene and the child was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, police said. No identifications were released.
The circumstances of the fall are unclear. Authorities said the father did not appear to live in the building.
