A Merrill Lynch analyst ate a handful of magic mushrooms in his Manhattan apartment Sunday morning - and then plunged to his death out of his 26th floor window.
Alex Lagowitz, 23, was found dead on a third floor, outdoor patio around 10 a.m. - directly below his bedroom window at Windsor Court on East 31st Street and Lexington Avenue in Murray Hill.
It’s still unclear if he purposely jumped or lost his balance and fell out of the window.

At 23, saying he was a banker is a stretch.
He worked a bank
not magic enough, I guess.
at the 16 th floor he was saying “so far so good, so far so good”
How many dead bankers does that make? Usually they jumped out of their workplace. May be this was a stubborn case.
He cut right to the chase instead of screwing around like Johnny Manziel.
Never had any magic mushrooms.
Traded a guy for some magic beans once.
I remember a friend of mine took a bunch of mushrooms at a party a long time ago. At first he was just really zoned out, but he would snap out of it about every 20 minutes to ask us for a cigarette, which he would promptly forget he was holding and drop on the carpet. So we had to move him to the bathtub just to keep him from burning the place down.
He also kept telling me “I’m dead.... I’m dead, man”, and I had to keep explaining to him that he wasn’t dead, because he was talking to me. Had to babysit his dumb ass all night long!
No doubt he was uttering, oh wow what an awesome view!!!
There went the Merill Lynch stock....
Turned out they weren’t magic mushrooms. They were death caps.
Pushed.
Ha! Ok. (He still can’t take his .....pennies ....with him, then. )
“Hey, hold my magic mushrooms and watch this!”
The lyrics to “Don’t Fear the Reaper” come to mind.

He was, freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, free falling.
Was heard laughing histerically until arriving at the 3rd floor.
Damn things did absolutely nothing for me. I never bothered again.
Well, done - you win. :)
Olde Joke
The first two wives died after eating mushrooms. The third wife died of a broken neck. It was said, she would not eat the mushrooms!
Jumped, fell or was pushed. There was a while not long ago that bankers were dropping like flies.
