A chilling incident unfolded at the Times Square Hotel on Saturday morning when a man fell to his death from the 15th floor.
Investigators are now trying to piece together whether this was a tragic accident or the result of foul play.
The Man’s Death and Immediate Response
The 39-year-old victim was found unresponsive after falling from the 45 Times Square Hotel, located on West 45th Street near Seventh Avenue.
First responders arrived at the scene just before 6:30 AM, but despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man landed on a neighboring building after falling from a significant height.
Investigation into Suspicious Circumstances
While police are still working to understand the exact circumstances surrounding the man’s death, they have taken a woman into custody for questioning.
Authorities have yet to release the identities of either the deceased man or the woman in custody, and whether the man’s fall was accidental or the result of foul play remains unclear.
Eyewitness Accounts Offer Frightening Details
Several guests staying at the hotel have shared unsettling details about what they heard before the tragic fall.
Davide, an Italian tourist who was staying at the hotel, described being woken up by loud and disturbing sounds from the room where the incident occurred.
“I heard someone shouting, ‘come back, come back, come back,’” Davide told the New York Post.
More Alarming Reports from Other Guests
Another hotel guest, Anna Katsrarou from Germany, was staying on the 14th floor and was disturbed by what she initially thought was someone falling out of bed.
However, she said the sound was much louder than a typical fall, followed by the sound of intense crying, which she described as coming from either a woman or a child.
About 15 minutes later, Katsrarou heard what sounded like a large table crashing down, followed by more cries of “Oh my God, oh my God,” and the sound of police arriving on the scene.
The Mystery Deepens
Katsrarou also recalled hearing a male voice calling out desperately in Spanish, “ayuda, ayuda,” meaning “help.”
These eerie accounts have only added to the growing mystery surrounding the man’s death.
Authorities are now working to determine whether the incident was a tragic accident or something more sinister.
