A building employee told Daily News: “The marquee cut him in half.” The man’s arm was found across the street, New York Post reports. Police at the scene said the man was wearing pyjama bottoms, a T-shirt and slippers. He’s not believed to have been a guest at the luxury hotel – which sits on the top 19 floors of the 55-storey Deutsche Bank Center tower. It’s understood he took a service elevator to the roof before jumping. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 9pm on Thursday. Cops believe he wandered into the famous hotel – where a standard room with a Central Park View can fetch upward of $1,195 (£938). Actress Cynthia Nixon, model Gisele Bundchen and musician Jay-Z are among the A-listers who once owned residences in the tower, which lies on “Billionaire’s Row”.
