Heartbreaking photos show woman sobbing after husband jumps to her death in NYC

A grief-stricken woman, also believed to be the wife, was seen crying following the death of her husband in Chelsea.

The heartbroken woman was left in shock after the tragedy happened outside 315 West 25th Street around 5am on Saturday morning.

She leaned against a brick wall for support, trying to process what had happened and then sat down on the sidewalk, burying her face in her hands and crying as police surrounded the scene. .

A 52-year-old man jumped from the 17th-floor balcony of a 22-storey building in an apparent suicide attempt, police said.

The unidentified person was declared dead at the scene. The NYPD did not immediately reveal the identity of the victim or a possible motive for his death.

Deborah Ramer, who has lived in the building for 23 years, said the neighborhood is “declining” and she believes many people are concerned because of increased crime and unruly loitering.

“I didn’t realize someone had jumped because I was sleeping – but it’s shocking,” Remmer said.

The tragedy culminated in a night of mayhem across the city.

In Flatbush, about 3:50 a.m. Saturday, a 27-year-old man was shot and killed in front of 2163 Tilden Avenue near Flatbush Avenue, police said.

The victim, who was shot multiple times, was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital, authorities said.

In Harlem, about 2 a.m. Saturday, a 40-year-old man was shot in the waist on West 135th Street, between Frederick Douglass and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. boulevards, police said. The NYPD said the man was in critical condition at Harlem Hospital.

Less than two hours earlier, at about 12:50 a.m., a man was shot in the left ankle on the Lower East Side in front of 60 Pitt St., police said. The “completely uncooperative” victim, whose age was not available, was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, police said.

No arrests have been made in any of the shootings.
