The death of a Secaucus man who fell from the 19th floor of Harmon Cove Tower was ruled a suicide by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s office on Monday.
Although the death was initially thought to be a suicide, Secaucus Police Chief Dennis Corcoran said that in cases where a suspicious death cannot be definitively ruled as a suicide, the Hudson County Prosecutor will take and investigate the case.
Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said, “The body was taken to the state regional medical examiner’s office. A complete forensic autopsy was not performed on the victim. The ruling is that it does appear to be a suicide.”
The 58-year-old victim, whose name has not been released, jumped the evening of Sept. 7. He had lived in Harmon Cove for several years with an unidentified woman, according to other residents of the condo development.
