Dovid Abramowitz a"h

A man jumped to his death from the Empire State Building after buying a ticket to its observation deck, police said Thursday. Police identified the victim as Dovid Abramowitz, 21, of Manhattan.

Abramowitz jumped from a vacant office on the 66th floor of the 102-story building in midtown Manhattan at around 3 p.m. Wednesday, said police spokesman Lt. John Grimpel. His body was discovered on a sixth-floor landing of the Fifth Avenue building, one of New York's key tourist destinations. Abramowitz did not work in the building and obtained entry by buying a ticket to the 86th-floor observation deck, said Detective John Sweeney, another police department spokesman. Sweeney did not know how the man got down to the 66th floor without a company-issued pass. Police also had no information on whether a suicide note was left behind.

Nothing can be written here that will do justice to this tragedy, so I am not even going to try.
