Yonkers roof jumper kills himself and another man

Suicide turned into homicide after depressed young man landed on top of another person.

An unlucky New York man was in the wrong place at the wrong time this week as he met his end via another human landing on top of him.

The man’s unusual demise unfolded after an apparently suicidal other man jumped off the roof of a Yonkers apartment building on Monday night and landed right on top of the poor victim.

 The shocking scene unfolded at the Cromwell Towers on Locust Hill Avenue as a “distraught” 25-year-old leaped off the building and onto a 61-year-old man on the parking garage roof, cops said.

Both men died at the scene.

“The incident appears to be a tragic situation and the investigation is ongoing,” Yonkers police said in a statement.

Investigators interviewed witnesses and family members and reviewed surveillance video.

Police have so far not released the identities of either man.
