Friday the 13th indeed

I've been hearing rumors for a while, but now that the paper of record is on the record...

A man jumped to his death Friday out the window of a 69th-floor law office in the Empire State Building.

Police responded to the New York City landmark shortly before 3 p.m. after a 911 caller reported seeing a severed leg—covered in a gray sock—on the street below. The rest of the body was recovered from a setback on the 30th floor.  [full sketchy story]

I'll, uh, be walking uptown to Bryant Park to catch the train home.
