After their first date, Jennifer Rosoff invited Stephen Close back to her place. However, things took a turn for the very worse as they had a cigarette on her balcony. While sitting on the structure, the railing that Rosoff was sitting on gave out from under her, causing her to fall 16 stories.
The 35-year-old advertising executive fell to her unfortunate death at her Stonehenge 57 apartment. According to Daily News, ” They walked through a set of French doors that open to the balcony. Rosoff was smoking a cigarette and had a drink. She sat on the metal railing about 12:45 a.m., which instantly made Close nervous.”
According to Paul Browne, the NYPD’s chief spokesman, “He advised her not to sit on the rail. She said that she had done it before and wasn’t worried. She didn’t think it was a problem.” Not too long after, Close heard “two cracks or pops.”
