According to today’s NY Daily News: “A 34-year-old man plunged to his death 25 stories down the garbage chute of a luxury midtown apartment building early Sunday, police said. Ashish Shah of Jersey City wandered into the lobby of The Olivia, a tony 36-story building on W. 33rd St., just before 6 a.m., police said. He ran past the doorman and then took an elevator to the building’s roof, tripping an alarm as he tried to get access to its sun deck.
Shah then went back inside, wandered down to the 35th floor, and then fell down the narrow garbage chute, police said. He landed atop a trash compactor and died instantly. Investigators believe Shah had been drinking for several hours before the incident and were not immediately certain if it was an accident or a suicide.”
