NEW YORK — A former NBC News producer has died after being found badly injured in a Greenwich Village street.
Eric Wishnie was found lying in the street at 10th St. and 6th Ave. at 2:51 a.m. Monday, police said. Wishnie was taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital, where he died at 5:02 a.m.
A police source told WNBC.com’s Tim Minton that detectives now believe Wishnie fell or jumped from the roof of his apartment building, 50 feet above street level.
According to a source with knowledge of the investigation, the victim sustained multiple trauma injuries consistent with an accidental fall or jump from that height.
Police called off an initial search for a driver who may have caused the injuries in a hit-and-run collision, according to a source. Police do not believe foul play was involved.

At that time of night, numerous adult beverages might have been a factor in his death.
You would think that the splat of blood on the sidewalk from a three foot tall crushed man,
would possibly have ruled out a hit and run driver
No?
