Elderly woman decapitated after falling to her death in New York

An 80-year-old woman jumped to her death from an Upper East Side apartment building on Saturday – and was left decapitated when her body hit the side of the building on the way down, witnesses and police said.

The unidentified woman jumped from the 28th floor of the Tony Park Regis Apartments around 3:30 p.m., police said.

Witnesses said her body became caught on something on the side of the tower, which had numerous balconies, and was decapitated.

“I just stopped when she was laying there, she had no head,” a resident of the building told the Post on Saturday.

“The head and arm were cut off cleanly on the other side and ended up on the terrace.”

The NYPD did not immediately release the victim's identity or a possible motive for the suicide.

Witnesses said their clothing was caught on a fence at the bottom of the building, which was bent by the impact.

“Everyone ran towards the body, but it was gone,” said a 23-year-old who witnessed the immediate aftermath of the fatal incident.

“Her body landed there, but her head and her leg hit the fence there, you can see it's bent, there's clothes and blood stuck there.”

The elderly woman was the second jumper to fall to her death on Saturday.

Police said a 52-year-old man jumped from the 17th floor balcony of his 22-story building in Chelsea around 5 a.m. in an apparent suicide attempt

The unidentified man was pronounced dead at the scene and police did not release the victim's identity.

A grieving woman, believed to be the wife, was seen sobbing and visibly shaken outside 315 West 25 St. after the fatal incident.
