GRAMERCY — A window washer working on the ledge without a harness slipped and fell to his death Thursday morning, officials said.
The worker, who police did not identify, but said was in his 20s, fell from 345 Park Ave. S., near East 25th Street, about 11:40 a.m., the NYPD and FDNY said. It was not clear how far he fell.
He was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital, police said.
Friends and loved ones gathered in the hospital waiting room grieving his death, but were too distraught to speak.
Police were investigating the incident, a spokeswoman said.
The Department of Buildings was also investigating the incident, but referred questions to the state's Department of Labor, which had no further information.
The 12-story office and retail building is managed by RFR Realty. A company representative did not immediately respond to a call.
