The founder of an investment firm plunged to his death from a Manhattan rooftop bar on Wednesday night, cops and law enforcement sources said.
The 46-year-old man plummeted from Bar 54 at the Hyatt Centric Times Square New York in front of at least two witnesses around 6:30 p.m., police and the sources said.
He landed on the street below and was pronounced dead on scene, cops said.
Two people at the rooftop bar told police that the man jumped off the building. One woman called 911 saying she heard a loud noise and someone jumped off the building.
Law enforcement sources told The Post that police were called to his home in 2008 over a domestic dispute over financial issues. Court records show that the couple had filed for divorce on Tuesday.
The death is being investigated as a suspected suicide, an NYPD spokesperson said.
Sources said the man was a founder and partner at a Connecticut-based investment company.
This is the second time in less than four months a person plunged from the same hotel bar.
In October, aspiring model Elizabeth Gaglewski, of Queens, fell from Bar 54 before hitting a 27th floor balcony, the NYPD said. The 26-year-old woman was remembered as “sweet and loving” by family.
