Cops said Barbara Heller accidentally fell from an apartment window to the sidewalk below, where workers were uloading produce in front of a market.(snip)
Heller said his former wife landed on a plastic storage bin that jutted out from a first-floor ledge on the E. 81st St. building before dropping onto the boxes of produce.(snip)
"She hadn’t been feeling well and she was having trouble breathing,” said Blue, who said Heller has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. “She wanted to get some air so I opened the window for her about a foot. She opened it the rest of the way and was leaning out. I heard this loud crash, but you hear a lot of crashes on First Ave. I’m nosy, so I ran out onto the terrace and it didn’t even occur to me it was her. When I looked down I thought she was dead and I was freaking out. I just ran down there.”
Blue said when she got to the sidewalk, a woman was helping her friend. She was trying to get up.
Dante McFarlane, 22, who works at the Morton Williams supermarket on the ground floor at First Ave. and E. 81st Street, said he was hauling cases of food when the woman fell.
“She fell and hit the plastic storage container on the first floor and then rolled off and fell onto the pallet,” McFarlane said.(snip)
“She was on her side, making noise,” McFarlane recalled, adding that pedestrians came to her aid immediately.
“She knew her name,” McFarlane said. “She was bleeding from one of her feet.”
Blue said Heller had spinal fusion surgery in October, and Blue was helping her get to and from appointments and taking care of her dogs.

Apparently Editors are no longer in existence.
Interesting detail.
I used to live at 80th and 1st (Yorkville) in Manhattan. I haven’t been there in a long time but it used to be a great neighborhood.

His ex-wife but he finds it in his heart to be over at her place taking care of her. That right there is sketchy.
