UPPER WEST SIDE — A person leapt from an Upper West Side building early Tuesday in an apparent suicide, officials said.

The 911 calls reported a suicide, but that could not be immediately confirmed.

The unidentified victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

The NYPD could not immediately provide information about the incident.

The investigation is ongoing.
