Jumper captured leaping from top of 5-story NYC building

This is the moment a man jumped to his death from the roof of an Upper East Side building early Wednesday.
Images obtained by The Post show the jumper, dressed in dark clothing, in midair against the backdrop of the building on Second Avenue near East 88th Street.
The unidentified man plunged from the top of the five-floor building around 4:50 a.m., authorities said.



The man was in cardiac arrest when he was rushed to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, according to cops and the FDNY.
The building houses the JJ Brown Cup coffee shop and the UES ice cream shop on the ground floor, with apartments above.
The incident comes a day after a man plunged to his death from a high-end Manhattan building overlooking Central Park early Tuesday, cops said.

The 49-year-old man, who was not immediately publicly identified, plunged from the 12th-floor balcony of 180 Central Park South, near Seventh Avenue, police and sources said.
