Man Who Leaped from NYC Skyscraper Identified as CFO of Bed, Bath & Beyond
As Bed, Bath & Beyond continues to face tanking stock prices and company-wide restructuring, one of the company’s executives jumped to his death on Friday, according to a news report.
Before his identity was revealed, the New York Post reported that a 53-year-old man (he was later found to be 52) had leaped out from the 18th-floor of the famous “Jenga Building” in New York City at about 1 p.m. The building is reportedly a “celebrity-packed” home of the “mega wealthy.”
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a follow-up on Sunday, the Post cited police sources to report the man’s identity. His name was Gustavo Arnal and he worked as the chief financial officer of Bed Bath & Beyond.
