NEW YORK (April 14) - A man jumped to his death Friday out the window of a 69th-floor law office in the Empire State Building.
Police responded to the New York City landmark shortly before 3 p.m. after a 911 caller reported seeing a severed leg - covered in a gray sock - on the street below. The rest of the body was recovered from a setback on the 30th floor.
The tragedy in the 102-story building closed portions of the busy Midtown Manhattan street while the investigation continued.
Police identified the man as Moshe Kanovsky, a lawyer in his 30s.
More than 30 people have committed suicide at the Empire State Building since it opened in 1931, including a 21-year-old man in February 2006. The skyscraper reaches 1,454 feet to the top of its lightning rod.

I've heard of putting ones foot down but putting a leg down?
