GUTTENBERG AND BEYOND — A resident of the luxury Galaxy Towers complex in Guttenberg allegedly jumped to his death yesterday from the complex’s tower three rooftop.
According to Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio, the 37-year-old resident of tower one jumped from the 44-story-high roof into the empty swimming pool located at the ground level of the complex.
“It is a sad situation,” said DeFazio.
