A 37-year-old woman fell to her death early Friday while trying to get into her fourth-floor apartment by climbing through the window, the police said.
The woman, whom a neighbor identified as Marta Perez, was apparently locked out of her apartment at 152 West 76th Street around 4 a.m., the police said. She went to the roof and tried to get in using a cable, but lost her grip and fell to the ground into a neighbor’s backyard, the police said.

It is better to find a locksmith than to find a way to get into a fourth floor apartment from the outside. Ouch.
Was there a Pit-Bull involved?
What are the odds...........Presstitutes plagiarizing machine is on the blink ? First teleprompters and now this ......:o)

4am
roof
cable
I’m sure there were no drugs or alcohol involved.
Is this the same story that was posted several days ago or a different one? Do we have an epidemic of idiots falling to their death trying to get into their apartments?
Ok, it is a different story but the same scenario. Is there a terrorist attack on the US, some kind of stupid virus being spread about that makes everyone lose their keys and then use a cord to try and lower themselves down to their apartments? WTF?
WTF??? Hey Chet99, you really have a knack for digging up stories of extra-stupid people reaping the rewards of their non-existent intellects.
As a part-time resident of a 4th floor apartment in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, I’m happy to say that everybody in my building has more rational ways to deal with getting locked out. None of us are interested in getting mistaken for a brazen burglar by suspending ourselves from a cable anchored to the roof and lowering ourselves to a window. If anyone ever passes by *my* window at 4AM with this stunt like this, they’re likely to find themselves face to face with my, um . . . object that Mayor Bloomie thinks I shouldn’t have.
Darwin Award ping !
Hey she’s lucky the neighbor didn’t call the cops. She could have been racially profiled and had Crowley show up to arrest her. Good thing she fell instead, now she doesn’t have to go to the White House for a beer.
A bucket of French Fries cooked in Trans-fat laden oil?
I’m sorry for the woman in question and her family, but this was a colossally stupid act and she paid the price for it.
RIP...
RIP.
The article states that she tried this at 4 AM. They did not discover the body until 10 AM.
How the hell do they know she fell at 4 AM? And if they knew, why did they wait until 10 AM to drag her ass off to the morgue? What were they doing for 6 hours?
Yeah, yeah, cigarette, that’s it! And I’ll confess it to his agents if they track me down from my post and come visit me at my apartment.
