MANHATTAN — A Maryland man was found dead in a Midtown hotel on Tuesday after apparently committing suicide using a plastic bag and some helium, according to a published report.

Hotel staff found Christopher Zoller, 22, dead in his Radisson Hotel room on West 32nd Street and Broadway at 3 p.m., the New York Post reported.

Zoller reportedly put a plastic bag over his head and connected it to a helium tank using a tube.

A source told the paper Zoller left a suicide note taped to his arm with instructions to contact his family.
