Bizarre Suicide/Quasi-Murder in Yonkers NY

[Ryback_feed_me_more]

An apparently suicidal man jumped off the roof of a Yonkers apartment building on Monday night and landed on a person below — resulting in both of their deaths, police said.

The shocking scene unfolded at the Cromwell Towers on Locust Hill Avenue as a "distraught" 25-year-old leaped off the building and onto a 61-year-old man on the parking garage roof, cops said.

Both men died at the scene.

"The incident appears to be a tragic situation and the investigation is ongoing," Yonkers police said in a statement.

So a Q for the lawyers here, does the family of the victim have any sort of civil suit possibility here?

Yes. His family could sue the estate of the jumper for negligence. The central question would be: is it foreseeable that jumping off a building in Yonkers (a pretty crowded city) could cause bodily harm to another. Maybe so. It would be up to the jury on that one. Not a very good case though, because of his age and no dependents. Much more money in it if he had survived. If the jumper doesn’t have any money, then they are SOL anyway.

First thing that comes mind is the Building owner IF the ROOF Door had NO ALARM, not a lock, a alarm. Not that It would've made a diff IMO, no response woulda been fast enuf.....
Old man was in right place at the wrong time. the worst/saddest of the 4 possibilities.....Right place, right time. etc.) R.P/W.T. R.P./R.T., W.P./R.T.
R.P/W.T. sir you caught the most prohibitive of the 4.

Take the murder word out please. Do really think a jumper aims and successfully hits his target. It would potentially screw up his intentions, like like landing in ball castle. Jay pajamy talking out of his as once again

There’s a term for the “quasi-murder” you describe in the OP: involuntary manslaughter.

Sounds like a bad Mark Wahlberg movie.
