NEW YORK CITY — A man died Wednesday morning after plunging from a Sunset Park building, cops said.

The man, whose identity was not immediately released, was discovered behind 4706 Fourth Ave., near 47th Street, shortly after midnight, according to the NYPD.

He had been with several other people at the time of his death, but investigators were still trying to determine if his fall was criminal or accidental, a police spokesman said.

The medical examiner will determine his cause of death, cops said.
